sounds good

hehe, may I suggest you look at the new libapparmor, matt merged the
libaalogparse and libapparmor libraries into one.  It provides full log
parsing for both old and new style log syntax.

you can grab it from svn
https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/apparmor/trunk/changehat/libapparmor/

Sorry I don't know of anyone doing this though it should be possible.
Another possible route is to use the parser library that is in development.

There is a mostly working version that was done in antlr 2 but matt
has been updating to use antlr 3.  I don't think it is the public
svn but if you would like to work with and and are willing to accept
that some changes will happen then I am sure we can make it available
