Thanks for the patch, it's one of these additions that falls into the
category of "convenience feature" i.e. it doesn't make something
possible, just easier, replacing two commands with one e.g.

   asciidoc -b remove foobar; asciidoc -b install foobar.zip

replaced by this:

   asciidoc -b replace foobar.zip

The decision to add it comes down to how often would it would be used
and how much time (relative to the total amount of time using AsciiDoc)
does it save the typical user.

In this case it would be relatively infrequently used by most users and
my call is to not include it -- anything that adds to the code base at
this stage of AsciiDoc's maturity is going to have a pretty high barrier
to cross -- unless of course there is a great wailing and gnashing of
teeth from the multitudes (accompanied by reasoned argument :-)


Cheers, Stuart

         Yes, that would be a good idea, then scripts don't have to try
         install, test if it fails and then try replace.


     Done. The patch is about 3 lines, attached.

         I would have installed it once in my home directory (the default
         anyway) and just edited things there until it worked, then
         copied the
         files to where I was making the zip file.
