Hi !

The handler is fantastic. Thanks for contributing it!
As you said on IRC you are not interested in maintaining it, i therefore
make a call for volunteers on the mailing-list, if anyone want to tidy
it up, add currency conversion or anything please do.

I think we should include it only in our future web-repository of
handlers, since it has a hard dependency on an external program.
