That’s great! We need more tools :-) It seems that it expects me to download the britney output first. Can’t it do it by itself (possibly caching it)? Also it seems it calls grep-excuses repeatedly, which then downloads the excuses file every time, making it very slow (I’m still waiting for the first output). Maybe grep-excuses should be patched to accept a local filename alternatively. Also, the tool might be interested beyond the DHG. Why don’y you write a message on d-devel about it (including a description of how to compile it).
