I'd be more than happy to finish off the final touches, test it
on all bdf fonts I've got available, and compare the output
against ucs2any.pl if it would be useful to XFree86 project or anyone else. My C version can process all fonts in one pass and spit out multiple encodings all at once, instead of being invoked hundreds of times. I wrote it like that as I figured it might give an additional speedup not having to fork and exec from a shell script constantly.
I did much the same thing about the same time and dropped it for the same reason :) But I would LOVE to see this done in C. Right now, on my dual P3/500 at least, it takes almost as much time to go through the zillions of ucs2any invocations as it does to build the hw/xfree86 directory. It certainly is a considerable part of the build time and part of the problem is perl and part of it is the huge number of invocations. I for one would be VERY glad to see this fixed.
