How exactly does one use such a snippet, anyway?  Combine "source" and 
backquotes?  I mean you could always go "resize > woot.sh; chmod +x woot.sh; 
source woot.sh; rm woot.sh" but that seems deeply unclean somehow.  Does bash 
have an "eval" statement?  (Rummage, rummage...  Yes, yes it does...  WOW the 
bash man page can be sucky to search sometimes...)

Ok, need to add that to the bbsh to-implement list.  Right...

I still want to build it into bbsh interactive mode.  (I'm looking at 
Bernhard's version to see what would be involved in making a libbb version of 
this probe.  Why is it setting the tty mode before doing the probing?)

P.S. My blackfin board arrived today!  (Well, actually the documentation says 
it's a coldfire, but it's a nommu test platform!  Woot!  And it's accessed 
through a USB serial thingy, so I actually have a test environment for this!)

In case I wasn't clear earlier: I'm very interested in solving this problem, 
I'm just being picky about _how_...
