We could add a "foo" driver to the LINT generated by this script with

I guess I can't help but wonder if a script is necessarily better than
a well-commented template.
Today I've talked with [EMAIL PROTECTED] He suggests to put an example to tree and
change script to produce
a copy of driver using example from tree as a template via sed or smth
like that. It sounds like
a good idea. We could have a single dir in subtree with various examples
and a set of scripts that
could produce from one of the examples a driver to start with.
...and if you manage to make the driver do some real job so that
people start using it in production, it will have nearly zero chance
to fall into oblivion; it will remain in a very good shape instead.
No, I'm telling nonsense here: A useful driver will be hacked
sooner or later into a huge, ugly, incomprehensible beast reeking
with features. :-)
If you want to add a new functionality you just need to create a new
example.
Probably it wouldn't be bad to have a driver with higher level of complexity
that can do the same (and more) than the other one that is much more simple.
