i messed around with one a while back, but i dropped it before i
finished it.
if i recall correctly, it was mostly working, but i don't know if i
broke it again after that or not. i'll put a copy of it on my web site
-- you can download it, clean it up and put it in contrib if you want.
i just tarred up the files, there's no documentation for it & barely any
copyright info in it. put whatever license you want on it if you want
to reuse it.

the files located at:
