Something wrong with pnmcut?

If you don't like running many pnmcuts over the same image, I wrote a
program, pnmmcut, which does multiple pnmcuts in parallel, reading the
input image only once.  (ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca:/mouseware/
contains this among other programs; in particular, look at the README
as a starting point.)

Mm, I'd have to wrap pnmcut (or pnmmcut) in a little scripting to do
that all at once (as opposed to doing a little of it manually and then
setting it cranking).
