The TKGNATS package includes a front end for remote query-pr that runs without
GNATS on the remote box (it uses the mail interface). The author of TKGNATS
has not placed it under the GPL (he's distributed a modified version of
query-pr with it, but it's not linked in with anything).

The downside is you need TK and GNATS.

The upside is that the interface it uses should work for a pretty simple
shell script. You just need to set up a sendmail alias for remote queries.
