Hmm, that's from 2009. I thought I remembered something much more recent,
like last year or so.
This perhaps:

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 ...

Would a python script converting something like json or yaml be
acceptable? I think right now only perl is used, so it would be a new
build chain tool, albeit one that's in my (very humble) opinion much
better suited to the task.
