Thanks.  I'm planning on working on it some more later this week (but no
promises). I'll apply the patch and do some tests and see how it comes out.

I'll probably be trying the multi-select idea as well, spiffying up the
licence stuff a bit (putting the full FSF recommended license statement in
the comments, adding the copying file on the site).

There remains the question of copyright and licensing, especially
relevant as the issues surrounding the GPLv3 update make news. For greatest
flexibility, I'd prefer you assign copyright to me (reserving use for
yourself of course).  Basically, I'm thinking Creative Commons
Attribution/Share-alike is more appropriate for scripts than GPL, tho I'd
probably keep it dual-licensed GPL as well in ordered to be crystal clear
on license compatibility with the packages it relies on (tho I don't
believe script usage would likely fall under "derived code" here in the
US, but IANAL and it plausibly could in some legal locales).  I'm not
interested in any slaveryware exceptions at all, but keeping
the flexibility to choose freedomware license without worrying about
infringing the rights of others holding copyright would be useful.

Or if you simply don't care, just say it's released into the public domain
and be done with it.

If you don't feel assigning copyright or releasing as public domain is
appropriate, we can probably still work out the details, but I'd suggest
an off-list discussion would be more appropriate, as others here probably
aren't interested.  (I'm very interested in this sort of thing, tho I
don't have any particular expertise in it and am in fact new at it for my
own stuff, as is likely pretty obvious if you look at the license term
wording in the script at this point.)
