I tested plaso without installing pyparsing.  It builds, but fails it's
utils/check_dependencies.  It will pass the dep check if I create a symlink
to pyparsing, but it is an older version (see below).

As the maintainer, I'd prefer to keep the pyparsing slackbuild separate
rather than trying to install a symlink to an older version.
