This sounds very intresting. Are there any reasons why we can't use this
one? I would like to have a look at it, test it and make the changes to
apply to our new standard. Perhaps you can make some .tar.gz file out of
it that contains the source+Makefile (plus readme if you have one :-) and
upload it into project/experimental.
I would suggest a few of us try this and if there are no problems we
should ship this instead of the perl script.
Did you implement all features of the old script so we could just use it
as a drop-in replacement?
Thanks,
Chris
