The Olivetti system is no longer available. Since it requires more 
machine resources than the SRC compiler, it would not satisfy the original
poster's requirements.

However, much of the Olivetti system, in particular the AST-based toolkit
will find its way into the SRC distribution soon. As of yesterday the
1.6 SRC system successfully built one of my tools for the first time
(the tool builds a proforma MODULE from an INTERFACE by AST transformation
and subsequent pretty printing).
