    I wasn't going to say [write? ;-] anything about it yet, but I've
    been hacking at something like this for exactly this reason.  I've
    been using the Apache archives as a testbed because they're an
    excellent stress-test. ;->

    It's a long way from finished, and if someone comes up  with a
    solution before mine is ready, that would be great (almost anything
    would be better than what I've got so far) - but I'll probably keep
    hacking at it because it's an interesting exercise.
