This is something I've been working on for Gentool. There is however some
resitance about adding this to the pkg-system, for some reason (Hi Lamer
;p).

I'll see if I can't check in my work on Gentool during this week, but I
have to get hold of Warren first so that I don't destroy anything he's
working on. Also, I'm extremely busy 'till friday, so don't expect any
miracles before then ;)
