Agreed, would like to add cmd parser to that list too.

Why is this? Does cmd sound like a bad project?
FWIW I was planning on improving cmd as my GSoC project, and I've talked to Dan Kegel about it - there's been no protests (only support) thus far on that front, so it at least seems doable.
In terms of being valid... if cmd were improved it would allow firefox and chromium to be built under wine (if reg was also improved a bit, but that might also fall under my project...)
There are one of two bugs I filed which has something to do with cmd (or cmd built-in's). One of them is an append-file issue - I think copy file1+file2 file3 does not do what it does in windows. (joining file1 and file2 and put into file3) - but instead, file2 is ignored, or something.
Just thought if you are doing cmd things, you might take an interest. That's the sort of things which are do-able in less than a few months for a student.
