Well, generic-ish. :-) It ought to be generic enough we don't end doing this
kind of stuff in multiple places. It doesn't need to work on arbitrary C
header files.

That would make sense. Xen itself will probably need these headers, right?
At least for the hypercalls where we reimplement/recompile rather than hide
the conversion in a copying shim?

And for implementation language: are you really stuck on Perl?
