I wish I could publish the code I wrote for my company (some 2500
lines of dense perl) but my request to release it under GPL is still
in the air. Before writing it myself I did look at what's available
out there ... nothing is. TaskForest is pathetic, SOS is terribly
complicated and buggy.

Kartik, your approach is good, just add more features as you need
them.
