I tried to invent this particular wheel just before I found out about
hpscan, which is now in ports.  Check out ~nate-pint.tar.gz in my home
directory on freefall.  I had it further than that with some help from
Peter Dufault, but I looked for it earlier and couldn't find it.

In any case, I couldn't get PINT to work on either FreeBSD or my Sun, so
I gave up.
