There is a Factory implementation in the current review queue.  The
code is in the vault:

http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/vault

Look for factory3.zip.  The implementation doesn't require inheritance
from any particular base class.  The factory objects are templated on
an mpl::vector of types that they can create.  The factory methods
themselves are, I believe, pluggable at runtime.

The purpose of your parser/parseiterator stuff eludes me.  What is it
for?  Is it akin to Spirit?
