Hi Steve,
I think I can put some time to this tomorrow afternoon-ish; I will be
mostly offline, but I'll try to do this, at least partially.
If not tomorrow, by Thursday I think I can look at this a bit more
quietly back in my office.

I can make a script for this, that can be run periodically as a cron
job. Don't want to promise too much, as my free time is somewhat
limited, but it should not be too hard.
