I was thinking the GDAL Wiki, but you're right, most of this isn't 
GDAL-specific. If you do get a site up, we should put a link to in in 
the GDAL wiki though.

That's funny, I thought I wrote scripts because I'm lazy!

Anyway, I'm scripting away, so maybe I'll put mine in the Wiki if I ever 
get them to work!

Darn. I guess I was going to find out that soon enough -- Maybe I can 
help, but maybe not, this stuff is pretty out of my depth.

Thanks, but my goal here is to be building SVN trunk, so I can test and 
maybe even contribute something.
