I have written a VC module for Veracity that I'd eventually like to
contribute. It works for the day-to-day stuff I do, but it is by no
means complete. So if you come up with a VC API, I'd be happy to be a
guinea pig and re-implement what I have to use the new API plus round
out the capabilities and get it ready for prime-time.
