This list should be in alphabetical order by Language first, then Engine.
Note that any engine that says "(plus DLL)" in the Language column should be usable from any language that can access DLLs.
Table Key
Virtual Terminals
What, if any, Virtual Terminals are supported by the engine?
Error Checking
The type of checking, if any, the engine does on things such as ensuring that symbol names exist in the grammar being used.
Generates Skeleton Code
Is there a way to automatically generate source code to parse a given grammar with the particular engine?
Grammars Embeddable
Does the engine provide a way to embed a grammar directly into your program? If so, how?
Grammars At Runtime
Does the engine provide a way to load a grammar at runtime (ie, not embedded)? This can be useful when writing a program designed to support user-defined grammars.
