I was just clearing out some old emails and noticed that I never pinged you about this. Have you had a chance to work on it? I don't see anything in NEWS or the manual about it, so I assume you haven't. I'm still interested, but I'm afraid I don't have time to help, so don't worry about it if you don't have time either.
