Sounds like a Nice Thing to have. Feel free to move non-sexp-related
parsing classes to a separate file. Into a separate file. Perhaps
read_parse.c? There used to be a file read_scan.c that did something
similar.
Using read_line sounds a little dangerous, as this reader doesn't
allow long lines.

Perhaps the spki reference implementation contains some useful
conversion programs as well?
Happy hacking!
