Awesome: Unless you just want to have a look at the code, I would wait
until I at least wrap up some issues that arise from a major refactoring
in the 'core' plugin, which I hope to do later tonight. I will mail you
off list when that's done, if that's alright.

The plugin currently does need some manual setup, that's either dead
simple (copying the files to the right place) if you don't want to use
the mirage acoustic analysis stuff, or a little more involved, if you do
(installing the C part of mirage, and some other dependencies like
scipy) which may not be appropriate to automate for something that is in
the end just a plugin.

I'll be glad to help though, and to add/improve documentation where
things are unclear.
