You might want to consider embedding a non-proprietary language such as
Prolog or Lisp in your C/C++ application.  Prolog has a feature called
Definite Clause Grammars that assist in language parsing, and its built-in
search and pattern matching capabilities are ideal for writing expert 
systems.

Our Cogent Prolog is embeddable in C, C++, Visual Basic, Access, and 
other Windows apps.  It's US$298 and royalty-free.
