It might be nice to have a README section that compares your project with existing alternatives, such as Ragel: http://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel/

I've used Ragel before for many parsers and a handful of state machines -- however, it's a bit awkward for a "pure" state machine. Makina looks interesting though, I will take a deeper look.

BTW: If anyone remembers Zed Shaw, he wrote some interesting stuff on using Ragel as a state machine for his Utu protocol:

Yes thanks for the tip that's something I'll be working on.
