If this really bothers someone, perhaps there could be a way for a
script to declare itself a barrier script?  Perhaps something a la
make's .PHONY, perhaps a naming convention, perhaps something else.

Or perhaps the ordering could be enforced some other way?  (I haven't
looked at rcorder in a quite a while, so I could be spouting nonsense
here.)
