Well I've pretty much done that already for retrieving sms's from the
phone. The code is much more readable now because I've split it into
smaller functions. I've also added that XML support I was talking about.
It was pretty easy.

Doing the same for everything would simplify the command line handling
immensely and it would be easier to use. Now, every time I want to do
anything I have to see gnokii's manpage. If they were all separate
programs I could use tab completion to find the right program check it's
options with a --help and be done with it.

If you want me to send you what I've done just say so.
