I did see the code :) the syntax parsing looks interesting.

This is ok for me

My situation. (For other plugin devs it may be similar)
====
* Most of my plugins are stored at tiddlyspot or / and tiddlyspace.
* They have been stored there with "copy / paste" and "save changes"
with TW commands
** They are changed / updated with "tiddlyspot: save to web" command
(broken in latest browsers)
* There is no automatic system, to test and deploy them :(
* There is no source/version control system to mange them ...

What I want
====
* An easy way to get my plugins out of TW / tiddlyspot / tiddlyspace
and use my preferred text editor and my preferred VCS.
* I want to be able to create a local file "test.html" TW that only
contains _one_ plugin *.js file, plus some tiddlers, needed to test
the functions
** may be some shadow tiddlers are needed too.
** test.html should only contain minimum changes to a vanilla TW.

* If testing is done, I want to create an "upstream.html" TW that
contains all the documentation tiddlers needed to propperly present my
plugins.
** There may be one or many plugins in one "presentation TW".
** There may be also 3rd party plugins in a "presentation TW".

My workflow
====
My workflow and directory structure, is described at tw.plugin-dev-
template space [1]. A template project is also hosted at github [2].
(I need to fix the make file, since cook parameters have been changed
lately ;)

If you have a look to "tests.html.recipe" and
"upstream.html.reicpe" [2], you'll see, how I get "What I want" (from
above).

About ginsu
====
* If I want to get my plugins and documentation tiddlers out of my
existing (manually controlled) "TW repos" I need ginsu.
* Since some of my tiddlySpaces contain several hundred tiddlers [3]
[4], it is close to impossible, to handle plugins and documentation
tiddlers efficiently, if they are all in the same directory.
* Creating .recipe files manully is a pain.

--> That's why I'd like to have the -s --subdirectories parameter,
that works similar to the ruby one.

hmm...
You are right. It should be kept simple.
But the problem is, if you download a TiddlySpace TW it contains even
more tiddlers from "system" spaces. I don't have a good idea about
these plugins ....

I did add an "svg" tag splitter [5] and cook option some time ago. So
may be, it would be good, to have "addOns" for the new cook ...
