If "count=" is not present I look for "names=" and create sub-components based on splitting the string at the commas. So the next thing I could do would be look for a string with commas in it and then split it on the commas and create sub-components based on that quantity of sub-strings. However I am not sure I would be able to extrapolate the naming convention for the sub-components. In this case would I assume the naming convention would be component.NN with NN being the instance number of the sub-component? I guess I could look at the component pin names to determine what the naming convention is.
At this point I see this as my largest obstacle. Right now there is no convention so what will work for one component may not work for another. I want to attempt to make this work for all configurations but I have a feeling it may have limits. I am not sure that parsing the man page will do me any good either. There is too much variation in wording in the man pages also.
