Scriptlike: New lib to aid in writing script-like programs

[Jesse Phillips]

Personally the biggest problem I have are libraries which depend 
on other libraries. A few of my scripts ended up growing a 
library I chopped off, but I haven't come up with a way to 
segregate it from needing XML/ini/cmdln libraries too.

Personally pulling in one file or many is the same to me. If it 
comes in a zip, that seems reasonable for those not gitting (git 
provides zipping a folder, not subfolders).

That is true with the single file, so I don't see why this would 
be relevant.

What is nice about keeping them separate is that people will be 
able to choose what type of script they will write. And I doubt 
there will be any common helper functions between these to 
modules.
