I'm not ready to abandon main-line.  I'm going to wait and see how it goes.
Most of what I want to do could be done easily batch-mode with maybe a
quick hack to pcb to make it just reload changed pcb file without asking
for the finer-grained stuff.

I use the embedded perl interpreter in vim but only when I really need
interactive behavior, and I'm not gonna pretend its easier that writing a
stand-alone script.
