Subject: Implementing a PGN parser. Should I care about the import format ?

Hi,

I'm currently implementing a pgn parser. I think it is quite dificult to
implement (efficiently) a parser for the PGN import format that require barely
no consistencies.

As an example it allow for two tag to be on the same line or to one tag to be
spaned on multiple line.

An implementation of a parser for this kind of tag will be way less efficient
than one reading a tag wich comply with the export format (One tag per line, one
line per tag).

So, here is the question. Those of you who have already implemented a pgn
parser, did you implement the import format, or just the export one? Or maybe a
mix of them ? in the later case I would appreciate to have an overview a what
you implemented and what you did not.
