Thanks, Jordan.  Will do as I can.  Meanwhile the '1.0m' version was far
more solid than previous versions which *needed* a cron job to restart
the bot when it died.  I significantly upgraded that script (so it would
work under FreeBSD's vixie-cron) and made that part of the port, but
fortunately haven't needed it execpt for auto-start of the bot following
the occasional reboot.

I quite agree that a tool is reasonably inanimate until someone puts it
in their hand and uses (or abuses) it.
