Thank you for factoring out the fixup code from uk_rt over into a
useful library for other XMLTV grabber authors to use.

Some thoughts:

*) the perldoc comments for each "rule:" entry show an exclamation
mark "!" as the type/fixup separator, instead of the vertical bar "|".

*) the ability to be able to configure the Augment library with a
configuration hash, rather than relying on Yet Another Config File,
would be very desirable.

*) I've often wondered about adding support for regex-based rules
(i.e. for titles containing years) to allow a single rule to be
written instead of adding new ones each year. What does anyone else
think?

*) the current rules format is concise (and deliberately borrowed from
the upstream uk_rt data files), but not exactly what anyone would call
expressive. I'm wondering if a more structured (JSON?) layout would
make rules easier to write for new users?

*) although it's nice to be credited alongside the project's original
author, Ed has not been involved in the 2007- fixups work and ongoing
maintainance.

Cheers,
Nick
