Possible improvements

I made this out of basic needs for one of my projects. Feel free to send pull requests if you came up with some improvement though. These are some of the ideas that could be implemented:

• add support for dumping/restoring specific database (just need to add a pair of command line arguments)
• extract connection specs from existing Mongo/ose connection
• add support for non-Unix OS (aka Windows)
