(Note that most of the initial code for this has been written by Marcus
Carlson, so credits go to him first :))

It's still not ready for review, and honestly I don't think I will have
time to work on it during this cycle, as I'm deep into my university
thesis.
John, if you or anyone else want to jump in and help with the code,
that's obviously appreciated and warmly welcomed!
So, if any of you is interested in working on this, feel free to ping me
on IRC or by mail for an overview of the changes that still needs to be
done.

Cheers,

Cosimo
