Benny-- 

As far as AEL goes-- I don't understand the problem. What you said, in a
different context: ...there is no way I'll touch C, which compiles to
something
as complicated as the current .asm !

I don't see how AEL's output is any worse than hand-written
extensions.conf 
files. Someday, we might generate stuff with labels only, but never saw
it as a requirement to do so; We aren't expecting folks to hand-edit the
output of AEL.
Doesn't make sense. Edit the source AEL file, and regenerate the file.
It only takes a second.

Tell me what's keeping you from adopting AEL, maybe we can make it
easier for you.
