It's kind of not really good for "General Software", but I didn't want to squirrel it away in the Developers Forum where fewer people would see it. It's all pretty simple stuff, and I think most people could use it.

I wrote a utility to do that kind of thing a long time ago:

The methods there aren't all in the article, so I don't know how effective it still is, but my gut tells me that some of them are still very strong. (Due to the massive CPU requirements for some of them.)
