Hi Namjae,

In general I think your approach is fine and solves the problem. See further

I feel that you should factor out a function that operates on the static part[] 
array and
adds a new entry base name, index (i.e. the %d for gp%d), cookie, size, force. 
Otherwise you end up with these hidden mines like fixed indeces for
particular parts (i = 2, etc...) which becomes indecipherable for others. 
Plus you're mostly doing the same thing.

Thanks,
A
