We wrote a little bit of very ugly code that allows a professor of record
of a class to go to a page, click a button, and *poof*, he gets a list
created, with him as the owner, some default header values, and even
bulk-loaded with an extract from the Registrar's office of registered students.

Oh, and we have another little program that finds these lists and nukes them
at the end of the semester. ;)
