+- refactor the elevation detection stuff. I'm not terribly happy with it.
+
 - password generator utility/library
+-- incorporate with r00t2.io/pwgen
 -- incorporate with https://github.com/tredoe/osutil ?
-- cli flag to dump flat hashes too
--- https://github.com/hlandau/passlib
-- incoprporated separately; https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/PWGen (import r00t2.io/pwgen)
+-- cli flag to dump flat hashes too (https://github.com/hlandau/passlib and others soon in pwgen)

 - auger needs to be build-constrained to linux.
