Interesting.

I see that it's written in C, but I'm not sure what license they use
for the code.

That said, I already have an incremental parser in the library for
both requests and responses. I don't see why I'll need another
implementation in there. ;)

/me was secretly hoping that it was written in Spirit. :P

Thanks again Jeroen, I'll think more about it.
