It's 7 classes (and associated project stuff such as ant build scripts,
test code and libraries, etc.), which is on the border between a tiny
project and some utility tool in a larger project. It's a 11k binary JAR
and a 240k source ZIP file which contains everything.

I certainly am willing to do all of this. I /want/ people to see the
source, give me feedback, etc.

To that end, I have created a project on SourceForge. It still needs to
be approved by a human over there before it gets up. I'll post a
followup at that point.
