   My problem with the executable option was that my script needed
editing in *all cases*, for every scene.

   But now that the apparent "simple" option of distributing a script
showed to be too complex, I've decided to do a more proper
application... nothing fancy, just a little dialog window with a few
input controls and a big button.

   But most likely I will use Java, as it seems to fill all my
requirements and expectations... and also because a close friend is
willing to help me learning to use Netbeans.
