Wonderful!

Just a comment on the input/output format. Now it is:

  field: value

which is RFC-822 like, but as such not really script friendly, something
like the following would be more IMO:

  field=value

using the latter one can "cut -f 2 -d=".

Using tab as a separator would make even easier to cut over the output,
but harder to provide input. I think that '=' is a good compromise.

Do you have any objection to use '=' ?

Cheers.
