Fantastic!  One question, though.  Not a criticism; just curious: why
not Python?  You're probably way better than I am at shell scripting,
but I find that once a shell script gets that big, it's really easy to
end up with something that fails to report errors or clean up state
properly.  The only reason not to use Python in those cases is a desire
to avoid dependencies... but tahoe already depends on Python.
