How about "I'll see how to solve that when I'll reach the point where
that's the issue"? (Or in other words, I would just start reducing that
file step by step, and see what issues pop up. I'm quite sure the first
script won't be the final version, but it would allow me to understand
the structure and needs better, and produce something proper. Of course,
if someone already understands it all, feel free to just do it. :)) )
