That being said, it would be helpful to have a simple command line
script that would allow one to restore an arbitrary list of files from
one or more shares and/or hosts where the file list could include wild
cards (similar to the usage in the *nix find routine).

In fact the script should be pretty simple to write in perl using the
native perl 'find' routine (on the mangled version of the paths) and
hooking into the backuppc restore code to execute the restore.

The hardest part would be in filling out the command line options to
make such a script maximally flexible and goof-proof.

I don't really have the time now to do it, but again it shouldn't be
hard...
