Sorry -- I forgot to restart apache after upgrading my kernel yesterday :-(

I don't have a strong opinion either way regarding including this in 
contrib or elsewhere, but if there is sufficient interest I'll find the 
time to update it for cvs head as well as ensure it represents the 
latest and greatest that I have available. I've used and improved it in 
minor ways since that tarball was put up.
