Assuming one exists, sure. But the code itself is obnoxious. There's something on the order of 100 classes (112, according to a quick find | wc -l). There's almost no documentation. Most of the code is that pregenerated garbage, code with no thought behind it. Or it looks like it was stolen from some other place and again the comments stripped. The whole thing is just a waste of time for anyone to look at.
