It does that with exactly this package, so because I would want to suggest ir even recommend this package I would have packaged it myself when nobody wanted to. In fact, I do have a 66% ready package here.. So I would be able to help you as a mentor and evntually sponsor your package when you want to. I am not that LaTeX packaging export, but I maintain one LaTeX macro package already and therefore can give you some tips. -- .''`.
