>Description:
It would be nice if tkgnats could be told just the server
address and port and automatically fill in the database
buttons from a DBLA request. It could list these as
<database>@<hostname> on the buttons and create 
~/.tkgnats/<database>@<hostname>/ entries for them when it
needs to save things.

none yet. =) Just had to be the first PR on tkgnats... ;-)

 I've made an update for this and will update the pre-release v3.0.15 on my web
 site soon (I'll notify you again)
 
 The main menu items will be of the form: "dbalias - hostname".
 For example: gnats - sourceware.cygnus.com
 
 I didn't like the use of "@" as you suggested, since it looks like an email address
 but it is not.
 
 The coresponding "UserServerDir" is ~/.tkgnats/<email-addr>.<hostname>
 where the email-addr part is up to the "@". For example,
 ~/.tkgnats/gnats-gnats.sourceware.cygnus.com.
 
 This is the format suggested in the TkGnats README.config file.
 
 I hope this is OK with you?
