That sounds useful and I have no issue adding it into the v2.  Could I just ask
you for a guidance regarding how to achieve that?  Currently I just place the
script into ~/bin (which I have in the $PATH).  I assume the service will have
to place the file... somewhere? on the $PATH to achieve the same.

Is there already existing service I could use as an inspiration?

Thanks,
Tomas
