At some point I tried making a script to be used as a --postexec option for turn backup, but getting the turn number (I wanted to keep copies of the game files in Turns/XX/ subdirectories, where XX stands for the turn numbers) was so ugly, I more or less gave up.
I think both --scoredump and --status create a file with the turn number in it. Ive been thinking along the same lines. There are already a couple Versions of programs to do that but they all require that the user have some programming environment loaded to run the scripts. I was going to "basic" it so that I could offer a stand-alone EXE but if you want to C it that would be great.
