(From update of attachment 33977)
It's unclear to me why we can't just modify the existing make_names.pl instead
of copying it?  The whole point of my previous r- was that you were proposing
checking in copy/paste code.  Now you're doing so again except in perl form. :)
 Yes, make_names.pl is ugly.  You should feel free to re-write it in python if
you like, but I think that would be a bit large of an undertaking.

If it would be a huge diff to make_names.pl to teach it about gdom then maybe
we should just check in a separate script.  But I still think that's a mistake.

Checking in a hack like this is analogous to taking out a loan of money from a
bank.  The loan will require continuous interest payments (keeping track of
changes across the forked files) as well as eventually someone will have to
re-pay the principle by un-forking the files!  You might not be the one who
ends up paying that cost... so we as a project don't want to let you take out
such a loan. :)
