[SLUG] mgp presentations from components

[Bruce Badger]

I'm working with Magic Point (mgp) to put together a number of presentations. These presentations have much in common, so I want to be able to form a presentation from a number of sub-components. I thought I could use the $include directive in .mgp files to suck the component files into one big presentation, but $include is a one-shot thing for establishing defaults :-( So, it seems that there is no built-in way of doing this in mgp. How, then, can I do what I want?

I guess if i could have a file like "next-tuesday-talk.mgp.spec" that looked like:
$include 'common-header.mgp'
$include 'funny-story-1.mgp'
$include 'technical-bit-1.mgp'
...etc...

... and have a script to bolt it all together to make "next-tuesday-talk.mgp'. Is there any tool around that will just do this kind of thing, or do I need to write my own script?

Sorry, that was a long way of asking something that I'm sure is very simple.

Thanks,
Bruce
