Joshua is 1000% right in his answers :
- nobody is interested by this, because it can't be seen

- we did (I funded 6 months employee for this) a lot of cleaning for 
3.0, and I don't have money to fund this kind of tools. (I plan to fund 
something that will never be funded by a library : a better (web) 
installer for the librarian part of Koha setup)

- the good news : it's quite easy to develop, and, on a library need 
basis we could see things appearing smoothly. I already have somewhere 1 
webservice to update a biblio, 1 to query the catalogue & get results in 
XML, ... It not on CVS, but i may commit them one day if I think it can 
be useful for someoneelse.
