String Constant as a Localized String

I've created a PHP script that takes a correctly formatted Localizable.strings file as input and produced a Localizable.h file as output containing appropriate #define-commands for each String-Key. You can modify it as you see fit.

The script expects all string keys to be formatted with sub-words split by uppercase letters, so a line should look like this in your Localizable.strings file:

"SectionSomeString" = "This is my string.";

which would then be converted to

#define SECTION_SOME_STRING NSLocalizedString(@"SectionSomeString", nil)

The PHP script looks as follows:
