I did think about the same idea, by putting the code into test codebase or 
generate the tables with makefile configuration.   Actually, I had the table 
generation code in my local workspace.  However, I give it up at last because 
such kind of code is just used one time and may not worthy the resources to 
maintain it or the power to run it while building/testing.  None of the tables 
could be wrong, otherwise the algorithm will not work.  The regression test and 
inter-op testing may be sufficient to approve that the tables are good.

But please let me know, if you have a strong preference to have it, I will try 
to integrate the table generation code.
