   Fast scanner for RFC-822 type header information
   
   This parser handles Debian package files (and others). Their form is
   RFC-822 type header fields in groups seperated by a blank line.
   
   The parser reads the file and provides methods to step linearly
   over it or to jump to a pre-recorded start point and read that record.
   
   A second class is used to perform pre-parsing of the record. It works
   by indexing the start of each header field and providing lookup 
   functions for header fields.
