Adding tool in a compiled language for this purpose doesn't make a lot
of sense for Autotools; it would needlessly complicate things, and
probably make the code size a lot bigger.  If you don't want to
reconsider this, we can still profit from your prototype implementation
by looking at it and translating it (though I don't think I've ever
translated from C to Perl before ;-)

But maybe one of the other maintainers likes this idea better ...

Cheers,
Ralf
