If noone is aware of a package that does this, are there any of you out there 
that would be interested in helping me architech/develop it so that it can be a 
resource available/useful to everyone?

I can build it for myself with the features that only I need, but it would 
probably be much more useful for the community if we had some extra input in 
the "requirements gathering" phase.
