Excellent, this sounds like a perfectly workable solution: 1) it will
give pretty good results from the looks of your research 2) this
approach will actually be easily distributable (ie, it doesn't require
weird dependencies).

One question though: "no license", what does that mean? Is it perhaps
public domain? _no_ license scares me :)

We can talk on irc if you need any help integrating this into your
exporter.

Cheers!
