These comments--taken from a posting to the openvrml-develop mailing list
--apply to '''trunk''' OpenVRML; the situation with the 0.17.''x'' series
can be expected to be significantly worse. (Note that OpenVRML 0.17.''x''
doesn't even have a file named `parse_vrml.cpp`.)

Is this from compiling trunk OpenVRML or 0.17.''x''?

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if nothing else in MacPorts includes
Spirit grammars nearly as large as OpenVRML's.
