I'm not criticizing your solution by any means, but have you looked
over pkgd, from Xyne [1]? It does what you want and even more
transparently. I never used it, because I don't need, but it's one of
those things I would love to have a need :) The documentation is so
tempting, with that big blue graph... (nerd pr0n at its best...)
