A failry working version of the script is ready but it needs a few lines
of polish.  Its actually a fork of another script (I hate forking but it
allowed us to specalize it to our needs and IIRC upstream hasn't released
a version since late 2006 :).

If anyone on the list has any perl experience and would be interested in
helping with this it'd be great to have multiple people working on this
script for docs.
