excellent! - tried it and this is indeed exactly what we had been
looking for. thanks for the quick response, potentially saved us hours
of replicating functionality that is already there.

we're planning to make the plugin available for download soon - code
is a bit rough around the edges and undergoing testing right now - so
hopefully we can contribute something back here.

thanks again
