I was thinking about this list last night and realized that several of these
have been done by users using CI programming (System-level CI variables, and
Newacct). And how it would be great if HP would just include these with the
next release so that everyone could use them and HP could then support them.
The problem is that CI scripts are to easy to modify by the user and there
is no way HP could support them. But what if they made a compiler for these
Scripts, and a facility to take these compiled scripts, or any compiled
program, and add it to the system as a regular command. This way if a user
came up with a great script that everyone wanted, HP could just take the
script, compile it, and add it to the OS.  It would keep the engineers from
re-inventing (no pun intended on HP's new logo) the wheel. and give the uses
a new tool.

So I guess the bigger question is, has anyone thought of, or made an attempt
at creating a CI compiler?
