Well, of course it is available, but I guess I should put it in cvs
somewhere. The question is where. Should it be part of scrollkeeper or
a freestanding package? I could put it in the LDP cvs, or host it at
SourceForge or Savannah. I don't think it belongs in Gnome since it
isn't part of Gnome.

I'll send you the code separately for now to look at, although it's
broken atm while I'm working on the document processing end of it.
There's really not much to see. It's amazing how little code it took
to make it work.
