I basically did that for Synchronet, writing SlyEdit as an IceEdit clone (it also has a mode to run as a DCT Edit clone); however, SlyEdit is written in JavaScript for Synchronet, and currently wouldn't work for other BBS packages. I've had a look at using DorKit to allow it to run for other BBS packages, though I remember DorKit not having support for some of the things SlyEdit does.
