21654520c6a4SDavid Howells	  Build a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler that produces a bytecode output
21664520c6a4SDavid Howells	  that can be interpreted by the ASN.1 stream decoder and used to
21674520c6a4SDavid Howells	  inform it as to what tags are to be expected in a stream and what
21684520c6a4SDavid Howells	  functions to call on what tags.
