I hadn't thought through what i was going to do with this once it was written.  I 
just needed it and wrote it.  In fact, my original (naive) idea of sharing it was 
just to give it to Michael Smith.  :-)  But i got some good advice from John Morton 
so i've created a SourceForge project.  I'm waiting for approval of the "project", 
which i'm anticipating will be soon.

So i'll put it up there and email a link when there's something there.  I've also had 
a chance to get some feedback about usability enhancements (being able to specify 
multiple cutpoints) and have decided (and started on) writing a C extension for Ruby 
for the low-level ogg functions.  I'm going to reimplement my program in Ruby so i'll 
be able to write the command-line processing (including being able to take cut-info 
from a file) in Ruby rather than C.

I think i'll put the original C source up, also, if that is more convenient for 
anyone (enough to compensate for the lack of more sophisticated option-handling). 
It'll be a few days (at least) before the Ruby port is up.

At that point i'll be ready for more enhancement suggestions.

P.S.  Thanks Daniel.  Hope you had a good vacation.  :-)
