Yep, here you go. The fonts still suck, but that could be cured by using
pbmtext rather than ppmlabel, assuming you can find a bitmapped font you
like.

If the text you use is very long, then the program runs very slowly,
due to the fact that it's exceedingly generous when allowing for maximum
button widths, and manipulating large images is slow...

Pipe the output into cjpeg or pnmquant/pnmtopng etc to get a suitable
final image.
