Thanks for the link, it does look like a very worthwhile book. 
Unfortunately, I haven't got the time to read a complete textbook before 
developing something workable (not feature-rich, just workable). If you 
(or anyone else) is interested in doing an hour or two of consulting 
about this, I'm able to pay for your time. Email me at jason at seethroo 
dot us.

Thanks for all the excellent replies so far! This has turned into an 
interesting thread.
