evolution happens:

* automatically gleans MIME type from file

* uploads multiple files

* removes directory prefix from filename

* works with filenames with spaces

* uses dotfile for configuration and token

* interactively configuring

* uploads to target folder if last argument looks like a folder id

* quieter output

* uses longer command line flags for readability

* throttle by adding `curl_args="--limit-rate 500K"` to $HOME/.gdrive.conf

Still working, great !
