If you want to try it, I'd be very happy to assist.

In addition, I would like to point you to another presentation about the
mirror framework. 
http://www.poeml.de/~poeml/talks/apachecon08-mirrors.pdf
It is slightly newer than the other presentation, and puts the
implementation into a broader perspective.

Let me know if you have questions, or features that you'd need, or other
kind of feedback.

Thanks,
Peter
