Hand-writing a recursive descent parser makes as much sense as hand-writing
a LALR(1) parser.  Why don't you use yacc-lex to write a simple input
mimic of yacc, then use a reasonable plagiarism (like from Backhouse's
book.)

We did it here - and extended this LL beast as a master's project. (Dave
Rivers at DataGeneral. Hi,Dave :-) ].
