  massive reorg to prevent duplication of code
  use mkscript.sh to build each script
  fragments/ directory contains the core fragments of each
    script.
  options/ directory contains snippets that help process
    each argument.  opt_foo.var establishes the tracking
    variable, opt_foo.option contains the case) statement
    for detecting and processing the option, and opt_foo.finish
    helps coalesce the variable setting (if necessary).
  As it happens, the ONLY purpose of running configure is now
    to create top.frag from top.frag.in, and to create the
    Makefile.
