Am experimenting with a descriptor that fetches the attribute string from a separate text file.  This keeps the C build from getting 
fat.  More importantly, it let's us write the execable string in a more natural way (it bites to write C style docstrings using \n 
and trailing backslashes).  The best part is that people without C compilers can still submit patches to the text files.
