Output of CLI commands under --interpreter=mi

[Jim Ingham]

Eli,

Yeah, the problem is that ripping the bits apart is not trivial either.  
I will see what I can find time to do later in May.  I won't get to it 
before then at all.  If somebody else wants to take a whack at this, 
please at least look at what I did as a starting point, and I will be 
happy to answer questions.

Jim
