I'd *again* (we have already discussed several proposals at length...  I 
am disappointed to see that this one is no more restricted in scope than 
the others) advise the student to simplify the proposal.  Better to 
write a hundred lines of code that is tested, documented and committed 
to trunk than a thousand lines that languish in the gsoc09 code 
repository.
