MPGuino shield for Arduino

Just throwing a random idea out there. Any interest in building an MPGuino shield (with display, connectors, etc.) to attach to an Arduino and make an "instant MPGuino"?

Heck, for that matter, how many prebuilt MPGuinos are being "moved" right now? With how many people are impressed with my nifty little MPGuino on the dash, I'd think there'd be more interest in it than is shown in the forums here...

The thought occurred to me as well, but the circuit design isn't really that complicated. It should take well less than an hour to put one together on a protoshield. I might give it a try actually... I've been wanting to try out a few hardware tweaks like replacing the voltage dividers with optoisolators.
