I presume C code generated by gperf is freely usable and it's not 
subject to GPL, right?  (I couldn't find any explicit mention of that in 
the docs.)


It looks like the source code builds for Windows with MSVC.  So while it 
will be a bit of a hassle to get it added to our build toolchain, that's 
not a blocker.
