Well, yeah...   I had the same thought.  At our location we don't have
-time- to do nifty things such as this.  *sigh*  Policy is if there's a
package out there, we test it, buy it, use it, and move on to something we
can't buy.

Cheaper when you don't have to pay programmers' benefits, just annual
maintenance.

Of course, writing things like this is the FUN, the CHALLENGE of
programming!  (:
