this is a awk based code generator. Very primitive at the moment, but

it was sufficient to generate info level 6 of the add printer driver
for spoolss

It has two capabilities:

1) generate the header and C code for parsing a structure, given a
   *.struct file that describes the structure. Evetually I hope to
   make *.struct compatible with MIDL.

2) it provides a harness that can read a binary data file from
   prs_dump() which contains real data from a client and display the
   parse of it from the output of the awk parser. This allows you to
   "play" with the structure definition until it comes out right, it
   takes just a few mimutes of playing with the .struct file to work
   out the right layout.

all this is very primitive right now. I hope next to completely
replace the spoolss parser with a single .struct file that describes
all the structures, and auto-generates working code. That will require
quite a bit more work.
