Four years? Hey, that would have been enough time to write that
program. Have you already created a sourceforge.net project for this

Honestly, if there really isn't such a program and there is need for
one, ask the people who are interested in that project and start
writing the software.

already there. So you'd just need some graphical glue to combine these
parts. Go ahead!
