I hope we can move more common functionality to libelftc from
readelf/elfdump -- I did it for relocation type strings recently.
While looking at others I see that one common difference is whether or
not prefixes are printed (SHT_, DT_, etc.); perhaps we can have these
type->string mapping functions accept an enum to choose one of several
styles.

I've been using SmartOS for this, available from:
http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Download+SmartOS

I've tried it out in QEMU; it takes much longer than FreeBSD to start
up, but seems to work just fine.

On a related note I have some work in progress for ELF notes
formatting in elfdump that I plan to post for review shortly.
