Sure, but until that happens, if we can easily give people portability,
why not?  My idea was to have a gram.y that rewrote _some_ of the
commands, and output another query string that could then be passed into
the existing gram.y.  Kind of crazy, but it may limit the duplication
of code in the two gram.y's.
