Anyway, I rewrote make-register-dotc and make-tapreg-dotc in Perl to
speed things up and reduce the number of build dependencies. My main
target is Win32 so I am trying to get rid of all of the dependencies
on the Cygnus (or MKS) toolkit so that other developers are not required 
to have them installed.
There's a Python version of make-reg-dotc; is the goal to reduce the dependency on Python (which is also required if you're modifying ncp2222.py, but if you don't change that and have built packet-ncp2222.c elsewhere, you don't need Python for that), or is the Perl version faster than the Python version? 

The Perl version of make-tapreg-dotc would be useful.
