I'll throw this java code up on github soon -- I need to rip it out into a more shippable library API, as I had it as part of a UI project I started and abandoned.

I think it would be useful as a standalone lib that anyone can use for this functionality. I'm probably not going to work on porting it over to another language anytime real soon, since I do have some deps on other OSS java libs like iText (PDF handling).

Once it is there, I'd be happy to look into how to integrate it if there is interest, or anyone can take it and look into a port.
