Ah, that's great. Can you give a short usage example - I would then
prepare a patch for the developer's reference.
This is how I handled the Debian open logo in webmin.
In the clean target:
perl -ne 'print pack "u", $$_;' debian/debiantheme/openlogo-50.png >
debian/debiantheme/openlogo-50.uue
-rm debian/debiantheme/openlogo-50.png
And in the install target:
perl -ne 'print unpack "u", $$_;' debian/debiantheme/openlogo-50.uue >
debian/debiantheme/openlogo-50.png
-rm debian/debiantheme/openlogo-50.uue
Note $ signs in perl have to be doubled as debian/rules is a makefile and
they will get interpreted otherwise.
