Undoubtedly I will get myself flamed for suggesting this, but perhaps it 
may pay for you to be a little more attentive to the bounties that are 
on offer.  The bounty offered may utilise a lot of your code, but a 
library without an interface (be it a user interface or a technical 
interface) is just a blob of code.

If developing the end user code doesn't interest you, that's fine - but 
don't take it out on people who take your work that extra step to make 
it do what someone else is willing to offer money for.
