I think this is more well-suited to being a separate package.  It may be
by-glibc-for-glibc right now, but I see it as having value for other
projects too.  It certainly seems like something we would want to share,
and there is a lot of potential behind the idea.

I've taken a look at the script but haven't played with it, and Python
isn't really my strong suit.  As much as I'd like to try and help hack
on it, my spare development time is practically nil right now, but I
wanted to at least lend a voice.
