I feel for your situation. Really. Not having a job or a means for supporting computing project is stressful, to say the least. Such a thing is one of my biggest fears. Sigh. When you say things like: I don't think a GUI is necessary for this package, but one could be written. and There are a lot of free tools, libraries, etc., for some of the tasks involved, notably `libxml' for handling XML data and YAZ for accessing Z39.50 servers."
