You could make "::" the start-of-one-line-comment sequence or you could
just parse these three lines.  You can also throw them away like this:

string " ::" >> many (satisfy (/='\n')) >> newline

Or simply treat it as such.  'reserved "Movement"' expands to 'lexeme
(string "Movement")', so unless "Movement" appears as keyword where some
other identifier could also occur, you don't need to treat it specially.

That's nice, too.  There's not much Diplomacy software out there that
runs under Linux, and most that does is painfully slow.
