Sorry David, I was just thinking that I'd neglected to mention it.  My bad!  
I'll add it to the website so future visitors will know what to expect.

It's coded in pure Python, using PyQt4 for the GUI parts.

The GUI parts are a bit ropey in terms of coding style at the moment - they 
work but I'm a bit new to the wonderful world of PyQt (though it *is* a 
wonderful tool).  They'll be getting cleanup to make them easier for others 
to hack on.

I've used distutils, so install should be as simple as a "python setup.py 
build" followed by a "python setup.py install".  Doing the latter as root 
will do a global install, but a per-user install *should* work automagically.  
There's not an uninstall, but there are relatively few files to remove 
manually.

Cheers,
Mark
