I could not stop from checking it out. Actually I've already checked
those scripts some days ago. It's a nice solution but it's got two
drawbacks:

1) You need to edit the world withing the toolset before you can
restart the server. Even if it's only due to a crash and you've
added no new content.  2) The parser's been written in Delphi and is
available for Win32 only. No Linux version (even if there's Kylix
that can compile Delphi sources for Linux, but I doubt a unix
sysadmin would use a non-console application to run a server).
