[Infrastructures] new parser for Isconf

[Stephen Schaefer]

I'm giving ISconf3 a try; on a jumpstarted install, isboothook seems to
work OK until I get:

"config" is not exported by the Isconf module at /var/isconf/bin/isconf
line 57
Can't continue after import errors at /var/isconf/bin/isconf line 57
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/isconf/bin/isconf line 57.

I haven't yet looked very hard for the root cause; let me know if
there's a simple fix.

Hi all,

For those of you actually using Isconf3 (which I believe is no one at
the moment?), you will be happy to hear I've rewritten the parser for
it. It's now written in Parse::Lex and Parse::YAPP.

Yes, this means that you need two different packages, but Isconf::File
will correctly use the old parser if the new one doesn't appear to work.

I have seen at least a factor of 5 increase in speed; it used to take me
something like 40 seconds to run ischeck, and now it's less than 7.

I have also made sure that all of the most recent Isconf code is
available on sourceforge.  Currently it's only in the CVS repository,
but I hope to make an export available as a single download soon.  I'm
not going to do so until I finish my isconf cfengine module, though,
which may also involve a significant rewriting of the isconf script
itself (since I'm not particularly fond of its organization).

You can find Isconf's SourceForge page here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/isconf/

You can browse the CVS, and it has instructions on how to do a CVS
checkout or export.

Please contact me if you have an questions
