Yeah, not very self-contained though.  I preliminary counting read is of 
course what he is already doing and wants to improve on.  Probably the 
best solution would be to write the array declaration to an include file 
right from POV. But there are lots of solutions, my guess is he is just 
casting around for options, so hence my original answer to his question.
