The existing parser is pretty hard to understand and extend. We're probably a few man-months away from the point of diminishing returns, and I'm sure there are some bugs that can't be fixed without a rewrite. Have you read it enough to understand it yet?

Incremental improvements to the current parser would still be welcome and useful. For instance, supporting cmd /a ( see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21174 for someone's draft patch ). - Dan
