I have downloaded it while I've written my answer. I was probably a bit rash posting the thing: I have had a couple of private e-mails saying that it doesn't work, and that it is not clear how to run the thing. It works for me, but it may depend on my Emacs version, my Emacs setup idiosyncracies, and because I know what to do with it. So don't expect too much of what you have downloaded! Nevertheless, it's very encouraging to see such interest: I'll try to get it into a workable and understandable state as soon as I can [probably not for a couple of weeks though, I'm afraid], and I'll post an announcement about it to comp.emacs.sources.
