This looks very promising! But we may have a problem with the license here:

The page says it's shareware. And this is in the License file included in the 
distribution:

License holders may alter or modify this software only for their own use. They 
may also hire others to modify their own copy of the code. Modified code may 
NOT be resold or distributed, without express written permission from author.

Sounds not like free (libre) software to me. Maybe someone could contact the 
author and convince him to relicense it.
