Hi Erik, Great idea!
I'd like one thing, though, before I add it to the repository: If you could make sure it didn't require localevents.xml to exist, that'd be even better... If I recall correctly, writeFile creates the file if it doesn't previously exist, so you should be able to check if it exists, read the contents if so, and otherwise just pass on to writeFile. It's a little difficult documenting that hol.xml requires localevents.xml to exist for it work at all, that's why I'm concerned.
