Christopher,

If it is not too much to ask, it might be a good idea to add this to your  
"examples" section. If it is somehow not desirable for copyright or  
whatever other reason, you could create "contrib" folder where stuff like  
this would be going, and so it will not be lost in the long run.  
Alternatively (but, imho, much less desirable) is to have link to this  
file from documentation, so people will have some sort of reference  
without need to dig through mail archive.

just my 2 cents (cad)

Best regards,
   Andrey
