Okay then, let's change it.  I'm going to have another version done 
later tonight/early tomorrow and I'm going to break it down into one 
version that can be called from a Mac interface and one that is a 
command line tool (basically, I'll take in or out the pattern 
matching).  At that time, I'll change the license.  Um, what would be 
good?  Python license okay (and if so can I just say that it's under 
the Python license or is there something fuller that I can put in)?

Also, I just noticed I made a typo in the subject line.  Oh well, I 
guess it will be staying there, since I don't want to screw up 
threading.  ;-)
