#2 Port tool to more appropriate language

[Bryn Mosher]

When I wrote this, I was heavily experimenting with PHP on the command line. This is no longer the case and the project should not suffer for it.

Requirements for new language:
* must be interpreted for portability
* must work on windows, mac, and variousl flavors of *nix
* must be widely used for easy hacking and contributing
* must cater to the command line itself and be efficient enough to for GUI wrappers to be built
