OK, excellent.  Just say when the new Shuck is out (with, hey, my
new icons in it), and I'll post the code (in the form of a trivial
.pm) for scripts to easily self-document.

In fact, I was already working up the code to the .pm that would
implement Alternative 2, but was running into hassles with
resource access, which will be obviated once Shuck can read
droplets et al.

Thanks for the tips on $shuck = $Application{"\xb7uck"} and
-x $shuck.
