Having used it recently on an app I was playing with for testing, I decided the situation can potentially be improved with it by use of a script to produce the boilerplate when given a simple list of commands the user wants to add to the app. This is the result of that effort. Sending it here as a rough-draft to get feedback on whether this is worth including in DPDK itself. Hopefully others may find it of use.
