On second thought, never mind my earlier suggestion. XD It will be a big undertaking either way, so we might as well do it right and be as accurate as possible.
I have a ton of work lined up for the next several weeks, so I might not have time to help much directly, but here's something that could make things easier for everyone:
www.true-magic.com/games/hfest/counter.phpI tried to make it narrow enough to fit beside the game window. The sidebar should also follow you as you scroll (at least in Firefox), so that you can jump to any letter or return to the top to see your total.
I hope that helps you intrepid researchers.

Let me know if any part ought to be fixed or tweaked to make it more efficient.
