Look at IRC log that I've just send to ml, Paolo have suggested that
too.

The "problem" is if we have more than one tool associated with a
mime-type.  I didn't have much thought about this though, but its
something we can add on later revisions.

I think so, if we only have "cursor position", the user needs to make
sure the cursor is at start of line before using the tool.  well, this
is by no means a final ideia, we can change it later.

Yes, it will be possible using $(file.directory) macro in the working
directory setting.
