Thanks -- that's very much the kind of thing I had in mind.

(and I'd actually enjoy learning the tools and putting together my own 
package for this -- except it all too often seems I'm spending more than 
90% of my working time learning new tools in multiple software 
applications, and less than 10% in actually getting any work done with 
them.)
