Buck,

I never ask management.  Whenever I think I can save time by building a
tool, I build the tool.  And after I build them, my colleagues use them as
well.  Sometimes I even get requests from them ('hey, wouldn't it be nice if
we had a tool that ...').  Not long ago I heard our president talk about
'our own sophisticated CASE-tools'.
