I will try and write something up in plain text and then we can decide where it is best to place it. Is it possible to get a git tree to dump the code in? My code is a very rough proof of concept in that it is poorly written and not extensible, BUT it works really well. I would love to have the time/help to clean it up with some proper development standards (I'm a C/C++/C# coder, I don't even know what the proper standards are for python/php :) ) !
