I have just implemented this.
It works as advertised!
FYI: I have clients and potential clients that are
1)Paranoid - citing good reason
2)Extremely security conscious - citing good reason
3)Suspicious of PHP - http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf
doesn't help things.
4)Suspicious of CMS systems.
(drupal, however - regardless of the core language is well spoken
of by members of the same community, one of the reasons I chose to
learn it)
This module is going to help me overcome much of the above.
Furthermore it is illustrative of drupal's rich store of
resources.
I included the enumerated items not to encourage controversy but
to point out the push back that I am working to overcome. :) I'm
not as paranoid as they are....
Thanks again for the support. You all keep up the good work.
cheers
