Two Open Source (BSD) utilities I wrote

I recently cleaned up and uploaded a couple of small utilities I wrote to help me with work to BitBucket. The first, "Text to C String", takes a text file as input and outputs a string suitable for embedding in a C[++] file. I use it to embed shaders into my code as const char*s, so that small demo apps I write end up self contained. The second, "Binary to C Array", does a similar thing for binary files - it turns them into an unsigned char array (like "{ 0x0A, 0x07, 0x1B }") suitable for embedding in a source file. I use this to embed other binary dependencies like Ogg files into my exe, again for the sake of having a single simple, self contained application. I hope someone would find them useful.
