That would be the documentation in textual/web page form you requested
the other day.

It occurred to me yesterday that I could just rework the output of the
script into a more human-friendly form, and save that along with the
deblobbed tarballs.  Those would say quite precisely what the script
does.  And it could be further massaged into some even nicer summarized
form, if needed.
