[ragel-users] ragel edge side include parser

[Todd Fisher]

Okay, I did some more reading and now understand why with -G2 cs variable is
always the same value.  From chapter 5, page 43:"Generally this produces
faster running code because it allows the machine to encode the current

state using the processor's instruction pointer."

I've also been able to reduce the machine size by merging a few redundant
states... Still am hoping to get some feedback, regarding whether my
approach to the parser is reasonable and if there are any obvious features
of ragel that I'm missing.

Thanks,
Todd
