By itself, cme is useless. Its value comes from the plugin that user can
install on his system (be it dpkg, ssh plugins).
I'ld like to find a better description for cme. So far, I haven't found one.

Suggestions are welcome.

Yes the only available graphical interface is based on Perl/Tk.
I would love to port the interface to Qt, but I lack the time and Qt
knowledge.
Thanks for the feedback
