Please do keep us posted if you decide to pursue the endeavor. I've
needed this, too, but it never bubbled up to the top of the priorities list.

The complexities associated with authentication will be the most
difficult part (at least if you want to build something reusable).

Ideally, authentication could be handled outside of the
application/script, e.g., by the Web-server. That would save you a lot
of coding and make the application far more portable.

Maybe I'll take a stab at this in PHP and share the results.
