Analyzing the data file seems simple enough. :)
If you're daring, you can try parsing it at compile-time... but in this case, it's kinda pointless, since the data file doesn't change, so statically generating the desired code as a separate step seems a more logical thing to do. T -- Curiosity kills the cat. Moral: don't be the cat.
