It would also be helpful if you showed how to use this to build a
working grammar, so I could play with it a bit.  The source I'm
using is the one at http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/parser-3.0.00.tar.gz

The particular problem I'm having right now is that mkgramy
generates qualified %token lines, but even fixing that doesn't seem
to be helping.
