I hope that includes the info manual that comes with ddrescue or its 
online version 
http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html

Well, the basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. :-)

A few? I guess implementing them all would convert ddrescue in a 
killer-app... for windows. ;-)

Seriously speaking, they are too many, most too vaguely described, and 
some requiring a lot of work (script, GUI) for me to comment on them 
all. It would help a lot if you could make more concrete proposals for 
the few you consider most important so that we can start working from there.


Best regards,
Antonio.
