FYI I do agree with all of those suggestions (both `set -e` and having
functions to handle failure in a consistent way); but I didn't want to
fix everything up in bash only to have to write it over again in perl
(should I decide to do so). I wasn't expecting a review for this patch
yet; I only included it for completeness. I guess I figured "I didn't
make all the changes you wanted" would make that obvious, but next time
I'll be more explicit when I don't expect a patch to be reviewed. :-)
Thanks,
