No problem. Attached is the output of "git diff origin" after dropping my
script in to my local tree. Let me know if you need something else.
Changes between this and the version I originally posted:
Added 2-clause license and disclaimer
Replaced SQL with 'pkg set' commands. Since I didn't come up with a
fast way to list the packages not in the 'automatic' list, I first set all
packages to 0 (not automatic), then set the ones in the list to 1. This is
likely slower than the SQL variant was, but it's not bad and not something
likely to be run frequently.
