one of the three option parsing libraries, perhaps, or delegate.rb. My 
point is that it's very easy to add new things, but there's an art to 
deleting stuff as well. We're building up a list of things in the 
standard distribute which are effectively obsolete, and we need to 
start thinking about rationalizing the situation.
