I am writing that sort of Parser Compiler in elisp. It's not production ready,
but it does have a tracing facility for inspecting run-time parser matching.
It was originally conceived for building data structures out of reports
from command line tools and generalized later as a full Parser Compiler
so it should fit the bill.

mail me if you are interested and I will keep you posted. Could I get a data
sample as a test-set ? I would like to expand my testing beyond my own cases.
