I think all of this is overkill.  Is it really that difficult to ensure that new
fields are placed into the array correctly, especially compared to the cost,
say, of ensuring that the field offsets are correct or maintaining an additional
pre-processing script?  We're reducing the broader maintenance costs overall by
having a single code base.

Is this is only open issue integrating the ib-mgmt WinOF support changes?
