I'm surprised that noone has mentioned the _existing_ shortcut
creation tool which is included in the source tree at:
development/tools/scgen.pl
Such tools are good for initial creation of a dialog but as others
have pointed out they are likely to change allocations once a dialog
has been reordered (for tab ordering purposes) or extended.
