I had a quick look at the code, and it looks very promising.  Thanks Jason!

FWIW, if we do start creating a contrib package that gets distributed
as an open-ils tarball, I think it's a reasonable restriction that the
code live in the ILS-Contrib repository.  So, I'd urge you to keep it
in the ILS-Contrib repo, but, of course, there's no requirement for
that, and we'd be happy to link to wherever you want to keep it.

Thanks
