Sorry for the delay.  This is just a quick note to say that it may take me a 
few days to reply in full -- I'm currently completely swamped with urgent 
'real' work.

But I _will_ address your last message in detail, you are on the right track. 
  There are already enough hooks into python to do what you want as a profile, 
though.  Start looking at the 'tutorial' profile for ideas.  I'll have more 
details when I can find a bit of spare time.

Regards,

Fernando.
