     The problem is that GLM's syntax differs from that of other procedures.
     It looks like this:
     
        GLM dependent variable [BY factor list [WITH covariate list]] ...
     
     so the first token after the command name is a variable name. I'm not
     sure how to write the q2c rules for that. 
     
     I thought about adding an optional VARIABLE subcommand, then assuming
     if it isn't there that the first token goes with the unused
     subcommand, but this approach seems like a kludge.
     
     Does this mean I need to write a custom parser? I hope not. 

I suspect that you have to write a custom parser for that part.   You
can probably cut-and-paste from the parsers for the ONEWAY or EXAMINE
commands to get started.

Frankly, I'm slowly beginning to come around to Ben's way of thinking;
that q2c is more trouble than it's worth ...
