/*
 *  Parse a data base entry.  Entries may span multiple
 *  lines.  An entry starts on a left margin.  All subsequent
 *  lines must be indented by white space.  An entry consists
 *  of tuples of the forms:
 *	attribute-name
 *	attribute-name=value
 *	attribute-name="value with white space"
 *
 *  The parsing returns a 2-dimensional structure.  The first
 *  dimension joins all tuples. All tuples on the same line
 *  form a ring along the second dimension.
