Thank you, but I'm afraid that an implementation of this is has already been
done by Chess (see SVN revision 444, with some fixes till 449).

I see there are some differences between the two (at least the $DIFF and
$DIFFOPTS, but I don't know if there are others relevant). Would you mind to
apply your improvements on top of the current SVN head (function pick_file)?
This way it'll be far easier for us to merge it.

For the future, I recommend to grab the latest SVN revision to do
development. Sometimes there are big differences between the last stable
release and the SVN tip...

With best regards, and many thanks for your efforts in improving sbopkg
