OK. Point taken.

If anyone were going to rewrite rcs2log then I would suggest it should be
rewritten in Emacs Lisp. Bit it's probably not worth the effort.

I agree, which is why I proposed the wrapper approach in the first place.
Any customization can be done with environment rather than Lisp variables.
I will send a revised version that does that shortly.
