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.
