Yeah, that's the thread I remembered. I think the basic conclusion was
that we needed a Perl script that would suck up a bunch of data from some
representation that's more edit-friendly than the DATA lines, expand
symbolic representations (regprocedure etc) into numeric OIDs, and write
out the .bki script from that. I thought some people had volunteered to
work on that, but we've seen no results ...
