Aww. I was gonna submit a replacement shell one-liner, like this:

$ banner () { f=`mktemp`; for c in `echo -n "$1" | od -An -b`; do tail
-n+$(((0$c - 32) * $3 + $4)) $2 | head -n6 | cut -b2- | paste -d@ $f -
> $f.; mv $f{.,}; done; tr -d @ < $f | tr $ ' '; rm $f; }
$ banner "Xen 4.4-blah" xen/tools/figlet/xen.flf 6 16
