^- All of our other scripts are /bin/sh I believe, or at most /bin/bash.
Is there anything specific that requires zsh for this script? The only
thing I see is the "setopt extended_glob". Which I guess you are doing
with this?:
+filetype="${upfile:e}"

Anyway, I think the script can be useful, even better if it could probe
LP to see that a release wasn't registered yet, and take care of all
that :).

I'd *like* to see it only require sh/bash, but if it is hard to do, zsh
is available on all of *my* platforms as well.
