Good riddance to these tools because this technique, of relying on embedded strings in the code, is inherently insecure and unreliable. You can only really on it when you know you can trust the build, and yet they are used in cases where the build is of unknown etiology, so there's an inherent mismatch between when the tool is used and what it does.
