I'll look into it.

I have no plans doing so. Basically not because I do not want such a
command, but because I do not know what such should do. The old command
took parameters like 'mmc' or 'net' which was hard to dispatch into
the different files and does not work with multiple mmc cards, so I
thought doing it completely on file level would be enough (with the
above additions added, maybe).
