It's a pretty simpleminded implementatiation at present.
features i want to add:
act like any other processing utility taking input from stdin
output to stdout
modifying modifiers #this is a nontrivial extension
adding conditionals:
so that lnx++ would cause it to regard the
next token to be a distro identifier
say one of (deb|slk|mdk|rh|sus|esm)
bsd would have the following (frb|opn|net)
adding a line identifier that's ignored by the parser but that
allows it to pick out the euglugcode from the input stream
add options for batch processing, using nonstandard dictionaries
and use in cgi context
