No, no, I agree.  I hope it didn't come across that I was complaining.
I have scripts to `get', `info', etc., that kick off get_iplayer with
these options that I decided on long ago, and your prompting of why I
was using them made me dig up what they were doing, and whether
get_iplayer had changed underneath them so they no longer had the
intended effect.

I'm just about to do the same.  Are you aware of the patch(1) program?
Given the original file A, I make some changes and save it as B.  The
upstream author then releases A2.  I make a "unified diff" that
describes my changes between A and B with the diff(1) program's -u
option.  I then ask patch to apply those edits to A2 to create B2.  With
luck, it can do all the edits automatically.  The bits it can't fix,
perhaps B and A2 have both changed the same line in A, it marks with
comments in B2 so one fixes them manually.

I'm just about to apply my change to 3.01;  it changes the `:' in search
results to `>' if the programme is already in the PVR.
