Actually, it might be even better to have the normal commands use the 
automate commands in the background. That's what librification does:
Make a useful well-defined function-based backend interface.
(It doesn't have to be explicit, but having the backend in a separate 
library makes sure that you can't do bad things. Plus I'm in favor of 
removing the current-working-directory dependency...)
