I think that AlpGen is the only generator interface which has a concept
of an input stream, so the AGILe framework really has no idea that such
a thing is happening.

I think that making this work could require some development, e.g.
making use of the return value for the makeEvent() method to stop the
event loop -- if you're using it, I think it might be best for you to
try making such a patch, and if it works we'll integrate it for the next
release.
