Yes, I'd like to write such a thing.
I knew that screenshot and I've the sources of that free version from peanuts.
The only problem, visible if you look at the screenshot, is that I can't have 
transparent space between the tabs. The NSTabView must be in a borderless 
window and this window will have a background color; it will not be transparent.
If somebody can suggest a solution for this or a aesthetically valid 
alternative, I'll write the shelf.
