Yes, that's exactly it.

We already include a whole bunch of auxiliary files, so I don't think
packaging would be a major obstacle. Python is not guaranteed to be
available in all environments, so it would be a less than ideal choice.
I have looked around a bit on oooforum and not immediately found anything
that wouldn't require a lot of learning about OO internals, but maybe
it would be best for me to take my question there.
Thanks for your help.
