Maybe I shouldn't have said "used LALR parse tables".  I should have
said "generated LALR parse tables".  The XPL grammar analyzer
generates something the author called MSP tables.  I was thinking it
would be more useful if it generated LALR tables.  Since I am in the
process of writing an XPL compiler I thought I could modernize the
grammar analyzer with something that would make the package more
useful.

I have no interest in converting tables from some other tool.

I was unaware of goldparser.org.  Thanks for the reference.  Currently
the goldparser project is not releasing the source of the grammar
analyzer so it does not help me find a solution.
