It shouldn't be kluge, I've put in the code to call bb-ack.sh
from the command line (don't know if it works, I haven't tried it
in a long time) but you could probably call it as:

bb-ack.sh <ticket #> <delay> [message]

I've just checked, there's a few bugs (nothing you can fix :),
just save $1/$2/$3 in ARG1/ARG2/ARG3 before the . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh
line.  bbdef.sh makes the arguments disappear.  Then in the code
where the command line arguments are read in, replace the $1/$2/$3 with
the $ARG1/$ARG2/$ARG3 (remove the if for MESSAGE, you don't need it
anymore). At about line 110.
