Done.

CVS users can try it out when it hits anon CVS (that's fast these days, right?)
as long as you're careful to do "cvs update -d" to get the new directory.

I'd appreciate folks trying it out, because while it *should* just build
everywhere due to the simplicity of the library, I have only tested it on
one platform.
