I cross posted this since it has to do with BisonGen which rdflib is
using for generating a fully-compliant SPARQL parser.

Hello Stephen, I've been trying to follow-up one of two options with
this.  The main problem is that BisonGen (the parser generator used)
can only generate Python/C extensions in it's current rendition.
There are some encoding issues with the Python generator.   This is
one option.  The other is to build binaries for linux, unix, windows,
etc.. I have access to environments to build for every scenario
'except' windows (particulalry because I've never done it before and
the prospect of VC++ or any alternative is daunting for the distutil
novice that I am).

So, anybody who has such an environment could help build binaries for Windows

I'm told it's a pretty fool-proof process once you have the proper
build environment.

It's a tough call, because what you lose in no longer having a pure
python library you gain in having a self-sufficient parser and fully
complilant (w/out any third-party dependency)
