Two issues:
1. I have no idea where the maintainer put the source.
2. It’s wrapped up in non-public code right now.

The second problem should be resolved within the next year or so.  
Unfortunately, the license which will most likely govern the  
software's distribution (APSL) is not GPL-compatible. That being  
said, the parser was pretty simple to write.
