This looks like an interesting app, the only problem that I can see with it is,
AFAIK, it would be against some policy stuff in debian and redhat.  Great for
an admin, but I think the distros want the PACKAGES tools to manipulate the
files, not a third-party app.

However, great find for MY purposes here at work, thanks!
