I'm aware that it interfered with Karl's scripts; I'm also aware
that it works fine with GNUN scripts, the scripts updating
www.gnu.org pages and Emacs-to-CVS interface, so I wouldn't say it's
really very likely to break tools.

The modified script has been running for a month on vcs1
and for over four months on download0, it can wait for a day or two
for rms' clarifications. we seldom have such opportunities to gather
users' feedback, they occur much rarelier than, say, the fundraiser.
