The two scripts just derives some trivial parts of the code.

mk-globas-c.pl transfroms globals.h into a C file actually defining the
variables with the values taken from the comments.

I.e.

extern FILE *debug_log; /* NULL */

becomes

FILE *debug_log = NULL;

etc.

mk-string-arrays.pl creates arrays of strings from selected enum
definitions (the four listed at the beginning of the script).

i.e.

enum err_type {
         ERR_NONE,
         ERR_READ_TIMEOUT,
         ...

becomes

const char *err_type_str[] {
         "ERR_NONE",
         "ERR_READ_TIMEOUT",
         ...
