shtool:  http://www.gnu.org/software/shtool

I have tried to get a patch in that allows the user to have their own local 
helper programs rolled into the mega-script, but the author is hard to raise 
=(O|  (I can post the patch I am using if anyone is interested).

Some of the default scripts are out of kilter with the rest of the gnu 
project; for example the version.sh helps create a version.c file (among 
other things) but requires a wierd `maj.min([aps]micro)?' numbering system.  

Perhaps you already noticed I get excited about version numbers? ;-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
