Yes, this kind of code would be very nice to distribute either with Koha
(starting in the 2.0.1 world) or as part of a "contributed code" set.  If
you'd like to email it to me (or one of the other developers), we'll
happily drop it into the right place for everyone to be able to get it.
As an added bonus, we'll even make sure your name gets into the "Credits"
section of the manual (with your library's name too, if you'd like).
