Coolness!

I hold no claim to the header. I think as long as the header you add is
formatted the same, you should use the same name. If you format it
differently, probably best to give it a different name. Better yet, if
you come up with a better format, check the change in to hammie.py
too :)

I was told to modify README when submitting new files, and I consider
myself pretty much in the same boat as you (enthusiastic outsider). So
I think you should probably modify the README, but I'm not authoritative
