The project wasn't successful because I ran out of time and then had a
myriad of other things to do. But extending the code that is already
there instead of starting from scratch, and the fact that we will both
be working on the code, will allow us to finish it this time, and
hopefully have it online at some debian.net location by the end of the
summer.
