+The script takes a C++ file with constant definitions and creates a
+header file for the constants. It, however, does not understand C++
+syntax, it only does some heuristics to guess what looks like
+a constant and strips the values.
+
+The purpose is just to save some work with keeping both the source and
+header. The source syntax must be limited already, because it's used to
+generate the python module (by the
+lib/python/isc/util/pythonize_constants.py script).
