D'Arcy, I wanted to put it on the www.postgresql.org site. That is what I said in my original email. I don't believe anyone from the actual project has contacted me. I am setting up a JavaScript version first. If someone wants to do a different one feel free. I will have all of the calculations in the JavaScript so it should be easy to do it in any language.

Why not whatever and install it on www.PostgreSQL.org? Is there any reason that this tool would need to be run on every installation. Run it on the site and it can always be up to date and can be written in whatever language is easiest to maintain on the mother system. I would also like to make a pitch for a JavaScript-free tool. Just collect all the pertinent information, work it out and display the results in a second page. Some people just don't like JavaScript and turn it off even if we can run it in our browser. -- D'Arcy J.M.
