This sounds like a good idea.

Problems with your patch:

1. You can't portably use getcwd(NULL, xxx).

2. You should test for !quiet before printing messages to stdout.

3. You should use scan_option() to read command arguments. See \connect
above your code (rather than \copy below).

Unless you manage to fix these issues, I will do it. :-)
