Ok, here's a patch. I added a 'parseAsmString' function to the Parser
interface. It doesn't seem to break any tests, so parsing files seems
to still work ok.

I commented out some code/global variables that don't seem to be
usefull anymore - feel free to remove those lines completely if they
are in fact not.

I havn't tested parsing strings yet. My code is extremely simple and
*should* work, but we know where that line of thinking leads. Should I
submit a test case (it would have to be a C file that links in the
parser)?

In the fib example, the module is named 'test', so I assumed it was
usefull for some reason.
