The Python implementation is 150 lines long. Rewriting everything in C or C++ will lead to 300 till 1000 lines of code.

You do not have python installed? There will be a trade off: Either the tool uses a (over-killing) programming language or a simple programming language will convert this little task into a complex program. You are welcome to help me rewriting these little scripts in C (C++ would be an overkill, eh?), but I do not think that it's worth the effort. -- Benjamin Drung Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org)
