I've been working on updating a parser that I've written in C++ for a
couple of weeks now.  My aim was to build a standalone/native parser
without the need for Perl/Python/Java/etc.  This stems from my need to
deploy it within our firm and not deploy Perl/Python/Java/etc.  My thought
was to replace the plucker-build program currently installed on Windows so
that Plucker Desktop would be able to use my parser without any changes.
That is, I would support all the same command line and plucker.ini options.

I'm wondering if the Plucker project needs yet another parser though.  I
currently have it doing almost everything the Python parser does with the
exception of images.  I don't think it would be difficult to finish it off.
It's written in C++ using the wxWindows library and only uses a couple of
functions that are MS Windows specific.  I think it would be a good
complement to the Plucker Desktop.

I realize that most of the time more options is better, however, I think
when users have too many options they can get confused (okay, maybe just MS
users) and not want to even try it out.  Also, more options means
developers spend less time helping each others code out and more time with
their own specific code.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Bill
