The problem with that one is it did too much. If I recall it replaced  
the whole of make.sh with a C file, which was less maintainable than I  
liked.

I should dig it up and take another look, though. (There are many  
things that's true of, but the constant stream of new "pending"  
submissions is squashing everything else unless I just decide to ignore  
them for a while.)
