Nice. I've implemented basically the same thing about 5 years ago: https://code.google.com/p/graphpack/ (future dev on https://github.com/amitport/graphpack)

never had time to publish proper documentation though.

you should also check out the paper that was published a few years after: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spe.2226/abstract

That's really neat. Any reason you decided to abandon work on it?

As @barakm said in the comment above, "it's not something you just build without working with a couple people"...

It requires a lot of work to get to a "real" product which includes documentation, basic website, traction with users, etc,. I eventually got side-tracked with life and other work. I will be very happy to continue work on it if someone will be willing to actively help out.
