I've just spent some time compiling the parser into Java with Jython,
a system which lets you compile Python programs into Java jar files.

Found a parser typo, but was able in general to create some
Plucker-format documents with the Java version.  However, the data
doesn't look quite right, and I think I've found a bug in the Jython
version of the Python 'struct' module, which is probably causing it.
I've reported it.

In addition, the Jython code doesn't support os.popen(), which is how
we call out to the image converters, so images aren't converted.  But
there's probably some equivalent to PIL in Java-land, which could be
used instead.  Anyone know what that is?
