John, why not MFCing it ? MFC cannot break anything :), it is a standalone
utility, and it definitely useful to have bigger test base.

I propose to add some note to the manpage, explicitely mentioning
experimantal status of utility, and the fact that both user interface
and output format are subject to change. I imagine this is the only
obstacle for MFC.
