This is an outstanding idea - well done Gary.  It's such a shame that the
events of the past week should be necessary for such humanitarian displays,
but I think it's now up to us to support Gary's modest, but heartfelt proposal,
and for more of us who write software for the common good to join in with
similar schemes.  Well done again Gary.  I can think of one person who would
have approved heartily...
