Hi Lev,

Peter suggested using the parser in pcb rather than rewrite in perl.

I had a look and I think it's not a bad idea.  Would get a faster
parser and not too painful I think.  I'm considering using SWIG
with some functions to iterate over PCBType contents to rebuild
the lists perl-side.  As a bonus you would get parsers for lots of
languages for cheap.  It would be easiest to do this in-tree.

Would this work for what you have in mind on your end?

Would something like this be acceptable in main-line
(as a --with-other-lang-parsers configure option or something)?

Britton
