plop - a simple opaque file portal

Plop is a simple opaque file portal written entirely in shell, for speed and for minimal dependence on extra stuff you probably don't want anyway. You share files by key (md5 checksum). To a certain extent this protects them from spiders. The shared files expire after a given period of time, by default a week. Typical invocation:

$ plopdb add pics/billy-taking-a-bath.jpg
$ echo billy-taking-a-bath.jpg | join - /usr/share/plop/db/master
361709f6fb0a1ccd7fbc94ffcf773fcf billy-taking-a-bath.jpg 1159847154
$ echo "http://nakedbillydotcom/plop.cgi?key=361709f6fb0a1ccd7fbc94ffcf773fcf" | \
