I'm actually looking into this.  I'm a little swamped at the moment,
so other than thinking about it, nothing has been done yet.  Hopefully
I'll get to it in a month or so, after I finish my current projects
and then knock our documentation system back into place (it was a good
idea when they implemented it but scaleability never crossed their
minds).  Let me know if you get anything done.
