My preference is to depend on mwpfh where possible - their parser support
is much better than ours, and it makes much more sense to concentrate
efforts in one place. However, there's one blocker for this: the Windows
support of wmpfh. It uses a C extension, and it's hard to build C
extensions under Windows -- so we'd need to help Windows users along
installing it in some way. I've updated the issue at
https://github.com/earwig/mwparserfromhell/issues/68 with some notes for
that.
