I'm wondering about the appropriateness of using Spirit for the
QuickBook parser.  Even on a fast machine, the QuickBook interpreter
takes a *long* time to compile (with GCC 4.0.3, even in release mode).

That's got to make it hard to work on QuickBook.  As cool as Spirit
is, I know the same job could be done with Python code with no
appreciable parsing slowdown, and effectively zero compilation time.
