[chuck-users] Status on running shreds?

I tried spawning a "chuck --loop" myself and capturing chuck's output.
However, while parsing the "status" command, I found 2 problems:

1) The host program does need to know how many shred lines will be
printed beforehand, because otherwise it will hang trying to read more input

2) The status command did not flush the standard output.

Ive made a small patch for this, and now I can control chuck (add/remove
shreds, view status info, etc) from a python script, hurray! I'm in the
process of writing a class for this and will share it as soon as i'm done.

For the two problems I mentioned, I made 2 tiny changes to chuck_vm.cpp;
i'm attaching that. Or should I post this stuf to the developers list
instead?

regards,
Arjan
