Applying default.lua mods after patch?

[Alterscape]

I built a few Ka-50 panels/button boxes for DCS, and in order to make some of the two-state switches work the way I wanted (for instance, the Shkval 7x/23x toggle), I had to add a new binding to the Shark's default.lua that essentially says "this switch, when pressed, fires command 'zoom in' and when released, fires command 'zoom out'." LUA-wise, the command is

{down = iCommandPlaneZoomIn, up = iCommandPlaneZoomOut, name = _('Shkval 23x/7x'), category = _('Ins Collective Stick')},

for anyone playing along at home.

 

 

Anyhow, I've got a bunch of these, but any time DCS updates, it overwrites default.lua. Is there an existing tool to automate re-applying my patches after update? I could probably write a simple script (I'd use Python, but, whatever language) that appends my custom binds to the end of the file automatically, but if I don't have to re-invent the wheel, that would be spiffykeen.

Are you familiar with OvGME already?

 

I'm asking as it doesn't 'automate' stuff per se so maybe it's not what you're after but I think it's highly practical.
