You'd think it'd be possible to take all the scripts and
put them together into one script, and cache a copy of it
for the next invocation, with a single uncoelesced stub
script that checked the dates on the files vs. the cached
copy, and regenereated a new cached copy, if the cached
copy were older than any of the files.
