I'm just somewhat surprised. Of course, if there isn’t anything you can just whack in the cgi-bin then tweaking something else or even building from scratch (eek) would be an option.

Probably worth a look though. Phpilfer looks like it might be a flier, but have only briefly scanned it. <a href="http://www.holloway.co.nz/phpilfer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.holloway.co.nz/phpilfer/</a> There are two SourceForge projects, with reasonably well known names attached, neither of which have released any code in the last several years. Googling around, that seems to be it. Who'd a thunk it. Is it not possible to get a bit creative with MT, and force it into a MeFi-mode? Changes are WordPress could be manhandled similarly.
