2(b). Extend the Heimdal ASN.1 compiler to understand C type controls
(probably in ASN.1 comments), but don't change the C code generator,
only change the template generator and the template system so that
instructions are output that are appropriate for the C types in
question.
The benefit of this approach is that it should be rather simple and
you don't have to write a new compiler (in Python or any language).
