i already wrote prototype of this about 5 months back.  it was really  slow
and needed more work, but it was working.  i can share the code w/ anyone
who wants it; but its pretty crappy atm, and has some major dependecies
outside of php.  anyone who's interested just let me know.

btw.  im curious to see your implementation dan ;)
