Might I suggest the name "pipewatcher" or "pipewatch"? Two-letter-long package names abuse the namespace.

The whole thing looks _quite_ interesting! I hope you do get to package it. And, given I know your inclinations.. Once you do, please blog so we all remember to download it, test it, and add it to our toolbelt!
