What about something like the attached FDI file? It's pretty hacked up
but shows the general principle I was thinking about. A simple shell
script can process the string list, which will take a tiny amount of
time to process. Plus it's really easy to add new models or issue
updates to make stuff just work.

Let me know what you think.
