phrollo: phlogroll in 12 lines of shell script
====================================================

I have seen that "Moku Pona" by kensanata is a quite wide-spread tool to
manage phlogrolls. I think that is a quite nice tool to have, and I
wondered whether something similar could be done in a POSIX shell
script. I called the resulting hack `phrollo`:

 gopher://cgit.mine.nu:7070/1/cgit-70.cgi?url=phrollo/
 http://cgit.mine.nu/phrollo/
 git clone http://cgit.mine.nu/phrollo/

It's a very minimal tool: it just reads a config/status file on stdin
and outputs a gophermap (on stout) and an updated config/status file (on
stderr).  This means that you can script around it to get personalised
headers, footers, and goodies. With relatively little effort it can be
modified to output only the updated URLs (so that you can have a list of
the phlogs updated on each day), but that's maybe useless, since it can
be done with even smaller effort by filtering the current output.

I have been using it to maintain my own phlogroll (still several entries
are missing, but you get the feeling):
