Thanks, Mike.

I used a Dremel tool with a spiral saw attachment (now
behaves like the RotoZip (registered trade mark))
tool.  A cut like that requires that you clamp a
straightedge to the face of the cabinet in various
positions for the long straight cuts.  I freehanded
the corners by being VERY cautious.

Touched up the finished cuts with a rasp and sandpaper
and it was ready for the $20/quart custom-mixed
matching grey paint.

It could have turned out much worse, and that thought
is unavoidable as you prepare to make the first cut.
