OK, I'll take some time today to mock up an approach, taking notes of what I did to make explaining it easier, and post the results to my clone at http://repo.or.cz/w/bison/ericb.git for review. If you like how it looks, we can then push it to savannah. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
