After struggling with the qif-import files to find a fix for 95844,
I thought using something like  the two software packages mentioned
in the subject line would have made things a lot easier.
Has the been any thought about using these?  

Spirit
(http://spirit.sourceforge.net/index.php?doc=download/v1_5.html)
seems especially suitable since it can be decomposed into
separate grammars (as does the
qif-parse.scm:parse-number/format for integer,decimal comma)
and invoked separately on a user specified template, and is infinite
look-ahead LL grammar; so, any ambiguity can be handled.

Currently v1_5 is being review no on the boost list
( http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm ).
I'm sure the author would be happy to answer any
questions someone might have.
