I'm thinking of having some ucla students do this, and it
occurred to me that using "ply" might be a good way to start.
ply is a nice lex/yacc implementation written in python that
sounds good for prototyping.  Once the grammer is far enough along,
it'd be pretty easy to switch to c.

Maybe I'll noodle around with ply and see if I can implement a
subset of cmd's language with it.  Here's a tiny toy start:
