Whoa ... hold on ...

I think all of
- pmlogdump
- pmlogcheck
- pmlogrewrite

should / could be constrained to operate on a single archive at a time.

They are all "special" tools for munging with _an_ archive, and as such could be embargoed from the "operate on a directory of archives" rules of engagement. By design (and of need) they probe around and below the PMAPI.

Would that make life easier?
