Hi Daniel,

This sounds like the best option to me.  You could use SILex to build
the lexer (http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~dube/) and `(text parse-lalr)'
for the parser.

It may be slower than the C counterpart at first but it's bound to get
faster as Andy implements more crazy compiler optimizations.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo'.
