I don't know this program, but e.g. flex doesn't generate any gotos,
even tough it generates C where gotos are somewhat more common than
in Pascal, but instead uses a switch (case) statement. (Actually,
the flex output does contain a few gotos, but funnily in the
hand-written code which is just copied into the output. So I suppose
they could be replaced in this code just as well as in any other
code.)
