Added as a question to the not-yet-complete FAQ. If anyone has a
_tested_
shell or Perl script to do it, please pass that on.

I admit, until Marie's comment about this belonging in the FAQ, I just
skipped
over it! So if the untested-script that someone-whose-name-I-missed
works, please email the script and the 'it works' to me for inclusion in
the FAQ.

(Laurel, I'm not trying to usurp your FAQ here. Just to catch
particularly relevent questions and answers as they happen...)
