I've recently become interested in this as well.  I pinged cwebber asking for
the best place to start and got shown this thread.  Have you made any progress
in thinking about how to go about this?  Did an issue get created (I don't see
one)?  Any place I can jump in to help out?  Just don't want to start mucking
about and duplicating effort if it's not needed :)
