Actually, I thought this was a good enough idea that I had a go at
implementing it.  My first cut at doing this is available at:

   http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/wanted-ports.shar

What do people think?  Unless this meets with utter horror or there are
some horrendous bugs, I'll tidy it up, add a man page and submit it as a
new port in a week or so.

	Cheers,
