Hi,

That is right.  That's one of the reasons why I prefer moving scripts to 
builtins: prototyping is good and well, but when you need to put it into 
production, where people have all kinds of weird setups (just think of 
dash in Ubuntu!), it is no fun.

Better to use something portable, such as C.

Which is the whole point of your project, right?  You want to turn the 
real engine into a builtin.

So would you not agree that PATCH 2/3 is rather unnecessary?

Ciao,
