In case anyone wants to do it, here's something I wrote for my project 
that might possibly help:

http://repo.or.cz/w/calfbox.git/blob/master:/sfzparser.c
http://repo.or.cz/w/calfbox.git/blob/master:/sfzparser.h

It's the most low-level part of the parser. Basically, it calls a 
callback whenever it finds a start of a region or a group or a key=value 
pair.

It's a work-in-progress, but it reads at least two of the examples on 
the Cakewalk page properly, including the slightly pathological one, 
with spaces in filenames.

Should be really easy to adapt for use in FS. An example of using the 
parser, just barely started, can be found here:
