I'm making a provider for cups and I need to parse a string into arbitrary 
key/value pairs.  The string looks like this:

printer-make-and-model='Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e (recommended)' 
printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1266621145 printer-state-reasons=none 
printer-type=8564756

I know almost no ruby.  Any advice for what functions or data structures I want 
to use?  It looks like "split" might be what I want to use for parsing, but the 
quoted strings will give me trouble.  For the first version, I'm only using 3 
of the values.  Do I just want to pull out those manually instead of parsing 
the whole string?
