I really like this idea.  However, it must be a bit harder to code than we 
might realize, because PAN puts a lot of emphasis on being GNKSA approved, 
and the fact that one had to hand type in that sort of thing (with the 
attendant chance of a typo, and not getting it to the right group) was 
specifically mentioned in the GNKSA eval many versions ago (0.9??), with no 
change yet.

Charles?  A lot has changed since then.  Is it something that could be done 
yet without to much trouble, and/or is it something that can be done in the 
short term, or is that still "bluesky"?
