C++ parser, etc.

No problem.  We can set you up with a Subversion account if you like.

We don't yet have standards for C++ or PHP.  Wherever possible, it would
be great if you could preserve the approach, documentation standards, and
"look" of the C# and Java public APIs.  If someone is familiar with the
Java API it should be easy for them to move over and use the C++ API.

It would be great if you could follow them in terms of the public APIs.  I
realize some changes are necessary to make the APIs natural for the
language being used.  For example, using properties and indexers in C#
where methods are required in Java.

If you come up with a better way to handle parsing or the other internal
mechanics, great.  We may adopt improvements back into the Java and C#
parsers.

Excellent.  You will notice we used generics in both the Java and C#
versions.

Not yet.  Your approach may become the standard, especially if you are
well versed in STL.
