Looking at what you need to do the best way to parse string I can
suggest you is the combo:
Stream.of_string + camlp4's stream parsers
It is all in the standard ocaml distribution, no need of non-ocaml code,
no need of extra libraries. Using that kind of streams you basically get
recursive descendent parsers with backtracking inside the same "parser"
structure (IIRC).
They are well documented in the ocaml manual. For samples you can look
at some Gerd's code which uses them to parse configuration files (e.g.
the findlib one).
