As an alternative to C++, a reasonable choice would also be CMake 
itself. The "list" operations are probably powerful enough to get the 
job done.

My CMakeModules/Html2C.cmake could serve as an example.

I do not have a preference on C++ vs. Cmake script.


Each has its advantages here. C++ is a better foundation if we ever 
wanted to take it further, such as recursive code generation.

CMake is easier to make in view of cross compilation support.
