Thanks again for the files!  This will be useful for our prototypes. 
I'll check them out & put them in CVS later today & let you know if I
run into any trouble, but briefly looking at them, they look good.

As far as productive things you can be doing, we're looking at migrating
to libconf for our parsing.  You can get libconf by checking it out of
CVS at the place where dams mentioned in an email to this list sent this
morning titled "Re: libconf status".  We've currently got a few minor
changes to it we've made and written a very basic translator to make it
output XML.  While your parsers will likely be used for the time being,
we will probably be moving toward migrating them to libconf.  

If you are interested in working on the parsers, I would suggest
contributing to this area either by translating your parsers to
libconf's way of doing things, improving the translator, and maybe a
little bit of helping develop libconf.  Probably the highest priority on
our list right now is improving the translator (since it can only
translate in 1 direction right now).

We don't have write access to the libconf CVS at the moment, and I know
Jason has done work that I wouldn't want you to duplicate...  I'm hoping
he reads & responds to this email & checks his translator into our CVS
so that you can work on it if you want.

Anyway, I say that would be a great way to contribute since libconf is
in perl and you seem good at it.  If you'd rather do something directly
for a main part CFG, let us know & we can try to give you something
there instead or in addition.

Finally, I've added you as a CFG developer on sf.net, so you should have
CVS access to do future checkins of things.  Again, I will checkin your
changes later today, so they won't show up immediately (unless you want
to do it yourself).
