That would come in very handy indeed. Hopefully it can be used for more than just Marathon asset making, but GZDoom, Eduke32, Goldsrc, Source, Unreal & Tomb IDE/Tomb Engine assets too (to name a few of my favourite engines besides Aleph One). Quake engine stuff especially too as keyframes were a pain back in the day before skeletons.
