Yep, it'll be a lot of work (unless code can be borrowed from other mods 
with persmission) -- seems super mod likes to share.

I'd be happy to provide any hardware / bandwith resources to help out.

I figured this would be a good place to come out with this idea because 
we have a lot of smart people, mappers, modders, and just genuinely cool 
community members who read this list.

I just hope I'm not annoying the list owner with all this stuff.
