False Laziness perhaps (spot my Perl background)

OK - stick me down for having a look at it. Had a quick peek and I think
it's within my abilities. Give me a couple of weeks, because I haven't
looked at a YACC file since my university days (gram.y is YACC isn't it?)

I'll read up the rules for submitting patches and get something workable
back by August 3rd.

Josh - if I try and do OFFSET at the same time (presumably it's the same
change) do you fancy acting as a sanity test site?
