I know that "me too" posts are evil on usenet, but in this case, it's
an evil that's well worth it, because your suggestion is excellent,
and I'd like to add my vote for this long overdue feature.  And so ...

Me too!

make some on-again-off-again contributions of programming time towards
this cause.

Would you (Greg) be willing to post your hack?
