We have introduced a new tm_dialog shell command which reads default  
parameters (for the nib) from stdin, and the name of the nib is an  
argument (-m/--modal to bring it up as a modal requester).

It then outputs the new values (as a plist) to stdout, including  
which button was pressed, and the return code of tm_dialog reflects  
the tag value of the pressed button.

It’s quite simple to use, but a little complicated to explain how to  
accomplish for non IB users, so I will do a screencast one of these  
days where I will go through creating a complex dialog.

Also, presently people need to checkout the code from the repository  
and compile it themselves. I will do a new build where this is  
included, when it has gotten a bit of testing.
