Created a nice cheatsheet.

Very cool. It is much like my recently introduced txtool utility.
I tend to prefer the git-like sub-command model, rather than putting all the utilities in PATH.

Yeah the point is that the installer should put them in a non-default location with a prefix like sx.newkey and then a bash script provides the wrapper on top together with the help and everything.

Electrum compatible is probably good enough for now. 
The latest Electrum from GitHub does have an up-to-date BIP-32 implementation, but I don't think there's any way to actually use it in Electrum yet. There are also a couple other Python and Java implementations on GitHub but I don't know how up to date those are.

Interesting, I can see how these tools could be extremely useful for sysadmins and power users.
You mentioned deterministic wallets, are these BIP-32 compatible?

No, they are Electrum compatible. BIP-32 wallets will happen once Electrum and other clients start using them, and I have an implementation to follow and understand how to design a nice API for libbitcoin.
