I was working on a tool that would be able to do that with wave. But
from time to time I get very busy and then later I get some spare
time, so whatever I have time to continue this is kind of random. I
was trying to make the tool very flexible, so maybe for what we need
now, maybe just keeping it *very* simple is already good enough.
