Well, I have done a bit more looking, and its been a dismal failure.  I
can't find what I am after in the open source world.  So I have used my
last resort.  I have written the thing myself, thanks in a large part to
the pointers from Paul.

This has never failed me in the past.  Invariably, after writing
something I come across not one but several implementations - all free,
and in places which seemed obvious in hindsight.

You can find my implementation here:
