Yeah, this is what I have in mind.  Then, users would do:

geda gschem
geda gattrib
etc


If the script found no arg, it would start the project manager
xgsch2pcb.  And if the user input an unrecognized program name, then
the script would emit a help string giving the user a list of tools he
can run.
