[Gimp-print-devel] new printer parser

[Robert L K. <rl...@al...>]

I've taken a stab at writing an XML parser for printer definitions
(not that I've written a formal DTD :-) ).  The files printdef.{h,l,y}
represent the header, flex, and bison inputs for this.  It's not in
the makefile yet, and it won't be in 3.1.1 (which hopefully I'll cut
tomorrow'ish).  To compile it:

flex -i printdef.l
bison -d printdef.y
cc -o printdef printdef.tab.c lex.yy.c

It generates C source.
