I also wondered if I'd do that.

But for a first iteration of the series, I decided to just dip a toe in
the water to check if it was not too hot! ;-)

And then, I think I prefer multiple scripts, one for each VCS. It's not
like doing a 'gzip -c' is too complex, after all, since that's the only
thing they'll gona share.

But let's see what others think of it.
