[OTR-dev] Command-Line OTR Proxy?

I've just installed OTR Proxy on Mac OS X 10.4.3, running on a
PowerBook G4 500MHz. I've noted two things that would make it a much
nicer program to run, in my opinion. The first is that the "quit"
option doesn't work correctly. Rather than killing the proxy, it sits
indefinitely with the file menu darkened and the proxy still running.
It always requires a kill to shut the program down.
The second is that it would be really nice to have the proxy be
executable as a command-line app. That way I could just launch it
into the background from the terminal, maybe defining an alternate
oscar server (since AOL has been known to change that), and perhaps
an alternate .otrproxyrc file (which would be a nice, tidy way to
house settings). It's just a thought, but I don't think it ought to
be too difficult to implement. I'd give it a shot, but I've never
actually worked with C before . . .
Thanks!
Keith
