Latest release 20230110:

• cs.ebooks.dedrm: new experimental module to use DeDRM/noDRM outside the Calibre plugin environment.
• Use the dedrm stuff in "kindle export" and "calibre add".
• Set $DEDRM_PACKAGE_PATH to the path to the DeDRM_plugin subdirectory of a checkout of [e-mail]:noDRM/DeDRM_tools.git.

These form the basis of my personal Kindle and Calibre workflow.
