It doesn't exist and it won't be added until the new gui is ready to 
fly. If you submit a patch for it it'll most likely be turned down (the 
changes would be fairly extensive), but you can always try. I don't 
think anyone else will though, so you'd better whip up your mad c 
programming skills and get to work.
