It's big and fat.  It's just that it comes all together upstream.

But there does seem to be a separation between the SP tools and the
DSSSL tools.   So I could actually continue to make both 'sp' and
'jade' out of the same source of course.

Anyone else want an SGML parser w/o a DSSSL parser?  Should I split
them out?  Both Manoj and Mark Eichin, the old maintainer, didn't seem
to think it's necessary.

Uploading now.  Its got a few little nags I'll be cleaning up
today/tomorrow, but seems to be basically there.

Maybe you should hold off until we figure out how we're doing
packaging.  ;)
