If a way can be found to make this work with TC it does seem to be potentially very useful.

Any progress?

Regrettably, the member who offered to make an extension (bmarkus) has recently withdrawn from the project.  Progress on this has most likely stopped unless your request is adopted by another member or you attempt to build the extension yourself.

It's a pity...
Well, I'll try to build it, but keeping in mind that I don't have much expirience nor free time, probably the easiest way will be to get distro that already has it... :(

The Tinycore community is both helpful and responsive.  If you run into any difficulties do post in the forum.  There are skilled extension builders visiting frequently, it is likely that a problem you face may have already been overcome by one of them.

Your efforts in creating and submitting an extension will be encouraged and welcomed.  To help get you started have a look at the Creating Extensions section of the wiki:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/Creating+Extensions

Good luck
