Fascinating! I was actually thinking of writing a perl wrapper script 
that would take a mildly structured text list of statements to make melt 
extremely convenient.
Since I just found out about mlt a few days ago I haven't given it much 
thought as to what that text list would be formatted like.

I would be most interested in seeing an example of what you would like. 
If it works seems intuitive for my small brain, then I could use that 
syntax.

Obviously a perl wrapper script is not ideal, but if a text user 
interface were developed that was really great there's no particular 
reason we couldn't convert it to a proper C/C++ application which
linked to mlt just like kdenlive does or whatever.

Thank you very much for this tip! I am trying it out. I had to remove 
--nonet from one of the .mk files to get it to build (lots of people 
have to says google) but then it built.
Now I told it to -i mlt and it looks like it's going to create a brave 
new world for me, looks like it's getting a new bash, a new binutils, 
gcc, findutils, lots of things, so I'll have to give it some time and see
who my computer is when I come back!

It's not gonna convert my slackware to nixos is it? :D

Thanks,

Jesse
