I'm trying to write a script that writes a script for a rather specialized 
task.  I know that seems weird, but the original version was written in
Korn shell and most of my team are familiar with the way it does things
even though they don't read Korn.  (The original author has since
decamped for greener pastures.)  Since we're trying to standardize all
our scripts on Python I got the task of rewriting.  Once I have the
simple port done I'll see if I can't figure out A Better Way.
