Perhaps a little overkill. How about removing the -v printouts 
"Unlocking flash...", "Done" etc. and removing the
  "## Error: \"%s\" not defined\n", name);
message?

The verbose messages are a bit annoying when using it interactively
and the error message when it can't find a variable too.
Note that this particular error message is only
printed when using the -n option.

Yes, can do that too, just figured I could add a -q  while I was at it.

:), I figured it was creative so I didn't have to touch so much of the
existing code.
