That's cool.  Don't want to seem pushy, but how hard would it be to go
from the above to /dev/std{in,out,err}?  Come to think of it, it may even
be as easy as "ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin", etc...  That would
really help some apps, especially those that don't understand the "-"
filename argument.
