Now that's certainly an idea worth considering!

We already have a test that makes sure the source file symbols-in-versions is
in sync with the header files and the symbols therein so generating a header
file based on that would be fairly reliable and not hard to do!

Is the current symbols.pl output good enough to use in an application you
think? If we're moving this up a notch and make the output "official" we
should review it closer and make sure it truly works in a way we can support
for years going forward!
