I would strongtly encourage you to develop this functionality inside the existing web interface instead of writting it as a seperate app. I know its an annoying php wannabe perl thing, but executing directly in the server itself provides access to a lot more information than an external application can access, plus it is more likely to be useful to the broad community because they do not have to set up a seperate web server to do it (yes, its beyond many people to do so)... There is a lot of potential in the integrated web interface, I have always held out hope that somebody would come along and extend the basic starting point which I put together...
