Bleah on the small C program (nothing personal, just hate to add Yet 
Another Program to the build process).  How about using echo for prelim 
text (if necessary) and xxd to create the struct instead?  I like making 
maintenance Somebody Else's Problem (SEP[1])

$ man xxd
XXD(1)

NAME
        xxd - make a hexdump or do the reverse.

[snip other possibly useful flags like column]

        -i | -include
               output in C include file style. A complete static array 
definition is written  (named  after  the  input  file),
               unless xxd reads from stdin.

        -l len | -len len
               stop after writing <len> octets.

Best regards,
gvb
