I wonder if http://www.antlr.org/ would be overkill for generating the parser. It does support generating C... might be a fun thing to try, anyway. ANTLR does seem to be the most popular parser generator these days.
That needs Java.
But only when generating the parser. It can output a pure C parser. If it's not ok to require Java to build (and I could imagine that), we could check in ANTLR's output. Then only people hacking on cmd would need java installed.
