Turns out the only other shamir secret sharing app I know of that's actually usable (ssss or somesuch name) only does the deed for keys, while this does it for files.

This is something which the CS community needs to solve, imho. I.e. provide an executable language with a formal specification that is guaranteed to be available indefinitely. And to make this more useful, other programming languages should provide back-ends targeting this language.
But, hey, this is really cool. It was probably really fun to write, and luminates a cool scheme that too few know anything about.
