[Infrastructures] new parser for Isconf

[Stephen Schaefer]

Rats: I'm running perl 5.6.0 on Solaris 2.6, and both ParseLex-2.15 and
ParseLex-2.10 are failing test 4.  Should I blast ahead anyway?

Actually, if you're getting the rest of the libs, the problem is
probably that you are missing Parse::Lex and Parse::Yapp.  Try
installing those.

One of the benefits of moving to the new parser is that you actually get
feedback on where the problem lies, although it's still not as good as i
would like it to be.  It tells you the line number, but that's about it.

I'd like to write a description of the valid files, and then provide
some template files, but in the meantime, I'm willing to answer any
questions you have.

: something that both parties desire but are unwilling to do.'"
