Volodya,

Thanks a lot for the reply.  This will make it a lot easier for me.  I've 
never used subversion, but hopefully, I can muddle through figuring out how 
to use it.  I did find a copy of parsers.hpp that has the new definition, 
and I was happy to see that that was the only change, as I don't want to use 
the unreleased library, nor do I want to wait.  :-)

So, I will try to patch in the changes for now, and convert to using the 
library when it's released.

If I can't find the sources, I may impose on you once more for help, but 
I'll try not to do that.
