Define "what AMP does".
AMP is written without any thought whatsoever of seperation of logic
from interface. so if you want to create an alternative interface you'll
either have to rewrite parts of it or reimplement parts of it in your
CLI.
Alternatively, consider using other interfaces that do keep this
separation. One such interface is http://destar.berlios.de .
However if all you need is the CLI interface, simply write a few scripts
and be done with that. So again, what do you need from the CLI
interface?
