It would be nice if this (system-wide floating windows) was something 
doable with Rev itself, assuming there's a way to actually do this on 
more than one platform. It is demonstrably possible using traditional 
programming tools in Mac OS 8, 9 and X, but I have no idea whatsoever 
how that is done.

(Anyway, I'd rather be able to script it myself than just to know 
that a C-weilding programmer can manage it. ;-)
