Sounds to me like it's technically doable, but I haven't had a lot of
time to do AnnoCPAN hacking lately and I already have a couple of
half-baked new features that I never finished. Of course, patches are
welcome if anyone cares to do it. :-) (If anyone reading this wants to
try, please remember to use the latest CVS version and not the CPAN
release...)
If no one volunteers, I'll keep the idea in mind (I like it!) but I
can't promise anything.
Replying to myself...
I couldn't resist the temptation and started working on this feature.
It's almost done now, I think it should be up by tomorrow or Friday.
Cheers,
Ivan
