Indeed, you got the vibe just right. I wanted this tool-set to be time-proof. Been working "on my machine" for 1,5 years. I had to do some serious clean-up and re-writing so that it started working on other people's machines, but once you get it running - it does not break. I've long noticed that things that are simple - such as tiny scripts or libraries I'd write - would outlive larger projects I would work on. So these days I only try and write software that can last. Bash isn't perfectly portable, to be honest (FreeBSD doesn't even have it by default, and MacOSX has an outdated version of it), but what else? I've recently refreshed my memories of Perl, wrote a few scripts with it and, somehow, it felt harder to deal with than Bash...

Thank you, typo fixed. I think there are more. I usually do try and proof-read, but there's never enough time.
