If you can't find anything you like for LL and don't mind switching to LALR 
instead, I've recently released Goldie ( 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/goldie ) which works in conjunction with 
GOLD Parser Builder ( http://www.devincook.com/goldparser/ ). If you're 
familiar with GOLD, Goldie is a GOLD Engine for D. I do plan to add support 
for LL eventually, but that's kind of a ways off for now.
