This is no way clearly explained by the docs if you didn't already know
it.  it indicates that your One True Custom Script lives on your client
in the case of a client-side script, and sends info to the server as
it's called.

It goes on to describe changes to be made to various .cfg files, which i
*have made*, so this data gets processed.

The docs indicate that --extra-script should have
"=<myclientsidescriptname>" tacked on to it, which i have also done.

if this is not the case, please enlighten, and when i am done with this
i would happy to provide clarification to the documentation.
