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.
