I have commited the first impl of the so called
GnuParser (I'll take odds that this name will come
back to bite me in the ass ;)  Anyhoo, the unit
test 'ApplicationTest' contains one test at the
moment for 'ant'.  I will add more test cases
here soon.  So if you want to have a look at the
impl Bob you can let me know if its clear or not.
