Yummy flamage ;-)

Whenever I need to do this sort of stuff I usually pull out flex and
bison - get it all running in an hour or two, yet the resulting code
is still fairly bloat-free.  Otherwise I'd probably vote for Python,
which I believe was designed to be imbedded.  Sounds like overkill
to me tho...
