fixes for prep feisty host

added some new apps in prep feisty host (e.g. screen, python3)

cast_identify_spell is a cool script for identifying metadata on files, but identify app is actually broken on my current ubuntu (Ubuntu 22.04 (code-name jammy)).

path_splitter is just a nice reformatter for the PATH variable that shows each component on a separate line.  cheapo script.
