not so good :(

I was working on it this weekend.  It works, but it's extremely slow.  As 
in: 25 minutes parsing time for 1 very simple greebled patch.  An entire 
spaceship made with those greebled patches would take a couple of hours. 
Not very useful, is it :(

I'm not sure yet how to make it faster.

oh well, I'll find a way :)

cu!
