Well, I am pretty much clueless about parsers and lexers.  My
additions to vtkParse.y were *complete* hacks.  I just looked around
the file and experimented.  It was miraculous that they worked and
didn't botch anything else. :)

As regards lexx and yacc for Win32 I think you can simply use cygwin
and the lexx and yacc from there.  Make sure you use byacc which is
the Berkeley LALR parser generator and not GNU yacc.

Seems to give me a lot of hits so I guess you shouldnt have much
trouble.

HTH,
