It's come up on the mailing list before, and we have a search engine
for the mailing list.  Maybe this should be displayed more prominently
on the website.

machines out there and eventually someone will do it.  It'll happen
sooner if you help, of course :-)

There's a big pile of information on the `documentation' page on the
