Yes.
I suggest the following:
- call this new implementation differently; SINP? (SINP Is Not
Pwgen), pwgen2? any other name will do...
- I'll add in the package a shell script called pwgen that will emulate
the way the "old" pwgen worked by calling SINP/pwgen2.
Unless I overlooked something, it should solve at the same time the
backwark compatibility problem and Ted's desire to improve the command
line.
