there is one already: rezzme (on forge). i'm not claiming it's the best one, but
it does the job quite nicely (so far) --- the only drawback i see is that it's
written in python, which translates to rather large installers for windows and
mac. a rewrite in C++ or similar would probably result in smaller footprints.
