You could even - wait for it - have _automation_ that does it.

Yeah, it's easier to write a stupid sed-script or whatever to generate
those files. Taking patterns into account and making the output
smarter is harder, but still doesn't have to be manual. But wouldn't
it be good?

I bet it would be good for all those other OS's that want the header file too.
