I'm not against a command line interface that meets your needs, if
that's the most expedient way to hook Mailman up to foreign systems.  I
/would/ however like to have some requirements for that hookup so we can
tailor the scripts to those specific needs.  For example, the current
crop of scripts in bin/ were written primarily to solve a problem that
the human operator was having.  That may not be the most efficient or
useful interface for hooking two programs up.
