Wow! These tools rock, really! :)
Together with a nifty status fetching script I wrote in bash, I now can
do a quick n simple consistency check.

The tools require the "python2" interpreter by default, I have
python2.2/2.3 installed, though. Maybe you could use a python env var
that is determined through some macro (there are some available) and do
scriptname.in-> scriptname magic.
Just a random comment. Keep up the good work.
