I agree 200% on this.
It is perfect solution for this kind of problems.

Though one detail I already discussed a little on irc - what is  
INFORMATION gained from disassembly? E.g. is some constant value an  
information which can be used in the code, even if it isn't  
documented or it's part of the code and thus needs to be "reinvented"?


WBR,
