+# Crude template instantiation hack.
+#
+# The template named on the command line maps to a perl module t_$foo
+# which defines certain methods including variable processing and
+# output generation.  It can also suck in additional template modules
+# for internal use.  One output file is generated, which typically
+# contains structures and inline functions, and should be included by
+# other files which will define, for example, the typedefname
+# parameters supplied to this script.
+
+# To do:
+# Find a way to make dependency generation automatic.
+# Make it less gross.
