Funny you should mention that.  I just added a new project to the cvs
repository yesterday (module name is some0-5) and I have done something
similar to that.  I have not finalized the design (still a fair amount of
functionality to be implemented), but I would welcome inspection and
comments.  It has only been tested on MSVC, I'm working on getting Linux
working currently.  There is code that is unused in there, so I would just
look at the TestApp and see what functionality is exercised there.
