Thanks Stephen, I have created a "contrib" directory and checked your 
code in there. I added your notes into a README.txt file.

Yes, 0.11.0-a1 is still the latest .exe version available; there has not 
been much activity on this project in the past several months but now 
that we're seeing some issues get cleared up I'll probably create 
another one shortly.
