This works great,  thanks.  I'll add that to the documentation.

It seems that the Monotone back-end is in pretty good shape now, if anyone 
wants to give it a try, you can download the Qct tip from here:

I think I'll refactor the working directory scan to take advantage of automate

podge of 'mtn list' and 'mtn status' calls.
