I would assume that locating the library functions in compiled code could be automated.

Basically working off the assumption that the library code will only change a small amount between releases of the XDK it should be possible to write an app that compares binary images to find the best match for any given function. The binary images fed into this app would be the extracted libraries from xbe files.

The app would need to be clever, it would have to:
- identify the start and end of a function.
- cope with the order of functions not necessarily being the same.
- cope with code being added/removed/replaced in a function.

Please feel free to flame me if I'm talking bobbins.
