Thanks for the pointer, though for my needs that's still significantly larger and more featureful than I need.

I don't want to create some wrapper script setting variables each time I run it; it just seems too cumbersome to me. Anyway, I've written some nice little config parsing based on cls' suggestion, which I think is lovely, and I'll endeavour to share with the list tomorrow. Nick
