Maybe we can move forward in little steps. For example it would be
excellent to have the schemapg.h file autogenerated instead of having to
edit two copies of those definitions.

I'm not sure that it buys us a lot to have all those things in a single
script. Why not have a script to generate schemapg.h, another one to
generate the bki stuff, another one to generate the fmgrtab header?
They don't seem to share a lot of code anyway (and even if they do,
surely we can add a .pm module containing common code).
