Weird, I was looking into doing something similar for the Paxos algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos_algorithm), but I decided I didn't have the time right now.
If you haven't, I recommend that you check out Paxos Made Live: http://labs.google.com/papers/paxos_made_live.html That paper has some nice details about google's experience implementing a production quality Paxos library - most importantly, don't let the simplicity of the algorithm mislead you into thinking that a real implementation will also be simple.
