This is something I was planning to work on for myself in a Cloud 
environment at our Computing Center 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing). Could someone write an 
RFC with the specifications of such a toolset? A cloud environment is a 
nice place to test configurations in differen Virtual Machines.
