Some people don't like this (IMO, very sensible) approach.  So there
needs to be options given.  What I'm going to do is write a tiny
script where the package maintainer and give it a command line, and it
will give the user the choice of running it in the foreground, or
running it in the background and putting output in a file.

[Side Note: I wonder if I should use Ada, Agol, Assembler, C, CSH,]
[Cobol, Eifel, Fortran, KSH, Lisp, Perl, Pascal, Python, SH, or]
[Smalltalk to do it?  :-) :-O :-Q :-)]
