There is still a little bug, macton. Good catch. The script has been updated. I should note for MacOSX users that they still need to install the environment variables, either through a property list in "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist" or via the RCEnvironment preference panel and register th...

Great work Rasheed! And thanks for your contribution too 7feet! I've integrated the changes. I've also removed the recursion on OSX and Windows so the script should execute significantly faster on all platforms (and not pop open so many shells under Windows) The update (v1.2) is here as usual: http:...
