Thanks. This is a huge help. I thought that I would get this done more than a 
month ago, and things just keep coming up to fill my "spare" time.

Before you start working on a file, take a look at 
http://feathercast.apache.org/feathercast_podcasts/ApacheConNA2011/Friday/ to 
ensure that it's not already been done.

Thanks.
