I agree that it won't be simple, but it's likely to be within range of many 
of us, if not now, then soon.

The SDR guys are doing lots of great work.  I haven't looked at any of the 
details, but google gets several hits for >SDR GPS<.  It would be interesting 
to investigate turning the software into timing mode and/or turning that into 
a GPSDO.
