Having looked at this before, and tried and failed to write a robust parser,
I would stick with the tools other projects have used, and tweak the end
results. Especially if you have already tied and got XML output. Remember
once its in XML, writing an XSLT style sheet to transform it into the sort
of XML or text output you want - is not that hard.
