I too have amassed a great wad of personal support tools for both MC  
and RR, many of which are clunky echoes of what RG has released. I  
never seem to have the time to polish them for others to use, though  
eventually I demand enough new features from myself that they become  
almost... quite nearly... just about... but not ACTUALLY ready for  
prime time. I would love to have incentive to push them over the edge.

Many of my tools pertain to managing projects: loading, saving,  
building, versioning, and archiving. Others pertain to image  
manipulation and color management. Most though, are just too project- 
specific.

Include me in.
