This is similar to the other "add hooks" features requested, so I am
going to merge this with them for now.

This is going to have to wait for a substantial rewrite.  On the up
side, I have a high level architecture scoped out, and a lot of code
written.  On the downside, life has gotten busier, and I don't see a
chance to finish in the near future.  Maybe I'll dig up the code and
just dump it on svn.d.o for others to have a poke at.

Take care,
