Which is basically the same thing as hacking the Python script except  
for a) having to start from scratch, and b) having to work in a  
language I have little experience with :-) I was sort of hoping  
someone had already done the above steps and would be willing to  
share :-D Oh well, it won't take more than a couple of hours to whip  
the Python into shape, and has the advantage of being self-contained,  
aside from some standard Python modules (so no installing from CPAN or  
the like). Thanks for the suggestion though :-)
