well i halfly agree only, this is situation specific, and situations can be
really anything
in addition i would support the community with the single files and build
way to make a big script
the end result just looks so..
i find one ( big ) scripts by now not maintainable at all
and by the way i dont give maintanance away to others, i do that myself
in the case someone wants something in that direction, the sources ( files
and build ) are given
