fui on the command line

It's for command-line use, when you are moving herds of files/folders around. 
Rather than mv this that all the time, or using arcane greps and other 
tricks, it let's you simply add files/folders (names) to a selection. 
 So, you can select some files (and using normal wildcards, here for example, 
all the png files)
fui bling blang bong *.png
(Then move to another folder)
cd someotherplace
fui socks shorts shirts
(Adds those too)
Then you decide you don't want shorts or wibble.png
fui --exclude shorts wibble.png
(Now you want to copy those somewhere)
cd whereIwantStuff
fui --copy 
(done!)

You can also move stuff -- but there is more in the help.

The idea was to imitate the select-copy/cut and paste paradigm from gui file 
managers.
