Yeah, this should work in the current version.

Yeah, I can do most of this as time permits.

Hah, you snuck that one in there, eh?  This would require a ton of work 
and isn't something I'm likely to get around to any time soon (like, 
ever).  The best I can offer you is running it inside a VNC session on a 
headless machine :)
