Plastic SCM FoxBin2Prg enhancement ideas

Hi all
I had a thought which I'm looking for some forward thinking people to help flesh out. First, some background: FoxBin2Prg (my friend Fernando Bozza's add-in) generates a .vc2 file from a vcx and a sc2 from an scx. It makes a nice readable output.
LargeClasslib.vcx/vct gets converted into LargeClasslib.vc2. (5Mb in my case). Plastic SCM quickly identifies there is a change to the LargeClasslib.vc2 and it can quickly show the line(s) that changed. What it cannot do is tell me which class nor what method was changed.
So, here's an idea: What if FoxBin2Prg generated a .vc2 per class instead of per classlib?
1 Each class would be treated as a separate object - which they are!
2 The one class that I changed would be listed in the list of Changed Items.
3 If it did that, there would have to be a corresponding method to re-assemble the classes into a classlib. Yes? Does that mean each of them would need a special naming convention? What would that convention be? LargeClasslib.OneClassName.vc2?
4 If I was to undo the change for one class the classlib would have to be reassembled without that class.
Thanks for any input.
