Subject: Technical criteria for retaining symbol readers

Hello,

I'd like to see us establish clear technical criteria against which
symtab readers are measured.  Those that don't meet the criteria, either
being fixed or removed.

As an example, should it be a requirement that all symbol-readers use 
the build-symtab framework?
