 From what I understand it was pretty expensive to create that Xtra.  I 
was involved in some discussion with a couple of people about creating 
something similar for iShell but there was a major cost issue.  My 
*guess* is that for this to happen for the Rev crowd right now someone 
would have to get a large project whose development costs could cover 
the creation of the external.  I could be wrong though.
