Well, first, maybe we can find a way to pipe the list to a file, so the list 
never appears in a shell command.
If that doesn't work, then we can always split the list into smaller chunks, 
write each junk to the file and then call lys-to-tely on the file containing 
all filenames.

Cheers,
Reinhold
