Sorry about the lack of feedback from me on this.

I tried to look at it a couple of times, but it was already stale then
so I didn't look hard enough.

The couple of questions I have are:

  * How close does the generated output match what we have today?

  * What additional tools does this require for someone to build the
    tree from the git repository?

I'd be interested in taking another look, if you're willing to take
another whack at it. I think that our command-line interface is changing
a lot more slowly such that this won't go immediately stale this time.

Though you could perhaps start by answering the above questions which
might be less work. :-)
