Default [fitsbits] stupid shell tricks

Many years ago, before all the perl and Tcl and other scripting
languages, I produced a little unix-oriented script for extracting
FITS keyword values from the PHDU of a file. While hunting for
limited bandwidth issues on one of our CCD controllers it just became
relevant to be able to extract keyword values from the XHDUs.

With apologies to Dave Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks" for the subject
line, I submit the attached script for the amusement of FITSbits.
