Under Linux (Suse 9.1), the parser module compiles with a couple of warnings 
about implicit declaration of PyParser_SimpleParseString, but the .so fails to 
load due to a missing symbol PyNode_Compile.

Heh. I managed to get test_grammar to pass 100% last night, which is at least a 
start!

And I must say that the new system is rather nice to work with - it took me a 
while to work out what was going on, but the multi-pass 'build AST', 'build 
symbol table', 'compile AST' is much cleaner than it is with the lists-of-lists 
arrangement on the trunk (which is the entire point of the AST-branch, I guess. . .)

Cheers,
Nick.
