I'm not fond of this.  Having script-friendly output now has been for
long on the agenda for parted.  There's Colin's patch, but it needs to
be polished, integrated smoothly (as "parted -s" probably) and a
future-safe output format has to be developed.

  A separate program would be detrimental to parted's progress (by doing
work that fits in nicely here in some separate program), detrimental to
your purpose (parted already has lots of useful and tested code) and,
in quintessence, a waste of time.
