Good! I like when people disagree. :)
So where and why do you disagree? What can we do better? What can we rip out?
What can we replace? How can we minimize the code without breaking it?

Dialog is ultra easy. If you know Shell programming then dialog should not be
an issue for you.
A simple dialog for choosing the storage backend:
----
dialog --backtitle "DSPAM storage backend" --radiolist "Select DSPAM storage
backend to use:" 10 40 4 $(dsbc=0;for dsb in $(dspam --version|sed -n "s:,:
:g;s:.*\-\with\-storage\-driver=\([^']*\)'.*:\1:gp");do let dsbc+=1;echo -ne
${dsbc} ${dsb} $([ ${dsbc} -eq 1 ] && echo "on" || echo "off")" ";done)

Okay. I am going to post the next BETA/RC release in b.g.o and push it to CVS.
