Alan,

I've pushed Stuart's "classvers" script as an example of a neat and 
useful script. Even though I've now published my "oak" tree" for 
Stuart's "little acorn", I still think it is worth publishing little 
acorns because they may often be more easily hackable into the beginning 
of the next great utility.
