[ale] Determining a scripts language?

[leam hall]

Both. I'm going to write a script in X language, and put comments in that
help document things. That script will be in a tools directory, or similar.
I'll then run make_doc.sh tools/my_script.sh and it will pull all the
comment into HOWTO/my_script.txt. The issue is the sed of sh, rb, pl, py,
etc to txt.

Make sense? It will only run one script at a time.
