+Description: Advanced pc-speaker beeper
+ beep does what you'd expect: it beeps. But unlike printf "\a" beep allows
+ you to control pitch, duration, and repetitions. Its job is to live inside
+ shell/perl scripts and allow more granularity than one has otherwise. It is
+ controlled completely through command line options. It's not supposed to be
+ complex, and it isn't - but it makes system monitoring (or whatever else it
+ gets hacked into) much more informative.
