Looks way cool.

Why not throw it in as another src/bin/ subdirectory, or maybe put it
in Peter's new "src/bin/scripts/" directory? No great ideas for
a name here.

It makes me uncomfortable that there are any explicit times at all.
A developer might set up a test script with delays that seem ample
on his hardware, yet will fail when someone tries to use the script
on a much slower and/or heavily loaded system.
Can we find a way to avoid needing explicit times in the scripts?
If not, there should probably be a command-line switch that allows all
the times to be scaled by some amount. (Ugly, but could be really
handy.)
