Well, I myself too have written my own parser (and am working on another,
but first botmatch needs to eh.. more finished.. though the new Neil seems
to work fine, no more glitches, all color depths all work ok, etc. ... ).
That parser takes a directory, sets a few variables based upon that
directory (it will set one to the contents, if it exists, of info.txt) etc.
which can be used by a template. The reason behind this too, was completely
lazyness. I can now simply drop an .url out of 'Favorites' into a directory,
run webgen.ex and im done adding a new link.
Automatic uploading was another thing I would love to see happen. But the
reason I made that proggie was 1 - Im lazy 2 - I wanted to be able to update
my site often without too much hassle. Maybe afterwards I'll look into it.
Or any of the EuServer ppl wants to tackle it. Otherwise when I *try* it,
i'll keep generic enough for other apps and programs (like yours) to be able
to use it.

And besides that, why not try to take it on. I think I learned the most from
those projects that were in my eyes way beyond my scope as well. And
allthough you never finish them, you usually come a long way, and sometimes
(accidents happen 
all the way. What I mean is,
there are a lot of resources out there. If you have the time, you might just
wanne try it, to see if you can do it yourself.
