Drush Command

I don't use drush -- tried it, couldn't get it to work on OS X with MAMP.
But definitely would be a cool feature -- feel free to submit a patch :)

Yup, there's this:
function generate_module($form_values) {
but as you can tell it's dependent on the form values.
So a first step would be to abstract that out, with something like:
generate_module($module_name, $module_info, $requested_hooks)
where $module_info is an array of various properties, and $requested_hooks is of the form ('requested_hook_name' => TRUE).

I've committed a change to generate_module and generate_info: these now take a general array of options (which are mostly identical to the form values).
See function header for documentation.
This opens the way to other modules calling these functions to get generated module code.

I'm having a play with drush and I've made a basic drush command.
So now I find the first implementation hurdle: how is the user going to specify the desired hooks?
Asking (y/n) for each one will take forever, and having to type them in will be tedious, surely?
Did you have anything in mind?

You're missing the input of the module machine name, which is essential.
So:
$ drush mb mymodule hook0 [...] hookn

I would use the short name of each hook, eg 'block' rather than 'hook_block' to save on typing.

What about things like human name, description, and dependencies -- would you leave those to be added by hand to the info file once it's been written?

Committed drush support.
It outputs code to the terminal for now, so you have to deal with it yourself.

If someone points me at the right way to write files in command line PHP / drush, I'll look at having it write the module files directly.

Done.

Try the latest version when the dev release is up.
'drush help mb' will explain everything I hope.

Any problems file new issues :)

did this ever go anywhere? Just tried a drush help mb but got an invalid command (Drush 6)

Ah, I see the plugin now, thx.
