   Shame - I suspect that holding up to editing in anger is going to be one 
of the key requirements here.  :-)

   Or to put it another way, I think that was a reference which completely 
went over my head.


   mined certainly meets the criterion of few dependencies, I'll take a 
look at that.  From a quick scan, the other two seem unique enough that 
I'll have to investigate them as well.  Thanks!

   Little surprised about the lack of response though.  Are there really 
that few users left?  Oh well.
