Yes, external scripts are just that; they get exec()ed and tellico reads
the xml they output to stdout.  Presumably you'll want to pick a language
(and in the case of scripting languages, additional libraries/modules
e.g. CPAN libraries) that are likely to be installed on the user's
system. For ruby, I used ruby modules that are included in the ruby
1.8 distribution.
