Perhaps instead of seperating into distinct excutables, test on ARGV[0]
for the names and only allow parameters based on the name.  fairly
standard way to have one program do several things.  This will prevent
having bloat from code being duplicated between programs, and avoid having
a library for something the should be fairly simple.
