If you are saying that is trivial to do without a decompiler or running the executable through a debugger

No, I'm saying it's trivial with one. The entire source code is available after stepping over two statements! It should also be simple to write an extractor.

And that's assuming the .c is not available. If you have the .c, just change the call to eval_pv to a call to printf.

Do you have the time to take a 'hello, world' script, run it through this converter, and then show the steps you took from that point to get the original script back?

Will do. Gotta run to a meeting now.
