You do understand that this goes completely against the robust Unix policy 
of modularity? By separating tasks into modules, bugs in one module are 
easy to track and don't easily "infect" others. Fixes are easily deployed. 
End user customization and development of new and complex applications 
becomes possible.

Simplicity is important, though, and you don't have to give that up for 
modularity. You just need someone to provide an integration script for the 
specific problem you want to simplify, tying together the modules and 
plugging in the needed arguments and options.
