Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] implement size_append in perl

The current implementation has been several times fixed to work around
different shells and build environments and it remains a somewhat tricky
shell script. This patch replaces all the dependencies by a single line
of perl. Build dependency on perl is not new, so that shouldn't be a
problem.

The new implementation does exactly what it's supposed to: it outputs
a little-endian 32-bit unsigned integer of a file's length.

This might simplify matters with different build environments and
different shells and is also considerably shorter and hopefully more
readable.
