{{Quickfixn}} How do make my own messages for the cracker? ;)

[Grant Birchmeier]

Generating the message class files and fields is actually rather easy.
 Because of the flexible nature of FIX, this is actually a standard
practice with QuickFIX (for any language).

Having worked with QF for quite some time now, the advantage of having
convenient and type-safe field methods is more than worth the minor trouble
of rebuilding.
