Hi all!

I need to write some scripts that among other things need to dig out symbol
information from object files. I did some basic research, but did not find any
such module, so I will write my own.

However, what is a suitable name?

I will probably just make it a wrapper around binutils with some caching to
avoid multiple calls (I will use it to analyze many files), so it is kind of
tied to Unix/Linux. I will probably only need to bother with ELF, but I'm not
sure since it might be necessary to be able to run it on Windows. However, in
that case I might make my life simpler by just creating a separate module for
Windows.

- Unix::File::SymbolInfo?
- BFD::Info?
- Anything else?
