Actually, the 'crunch' tools ('crunchide' in particular) include the
capability to do this sort of thing as part of their normal operation,
but I dunno if that's seperable from the rest of what they do.

They've already been made to work with ELF, though not with ECOFF
(though there are no NetBSD ports which still use ECOFF, if i recall
correctly).
