The DSC parser doesn't verify everything, but it does check for 
matching Begin/End pairs and gives a text warning if they don't 
match.

There are two C modules to the DSC parser.  Ghostscript uses only the 
first, dscparse.c/cpp.  The second is only in GSview and provides 
sample code for how to use it.  This is dscutil.cpp.
