Sounds like a fun project!

The easy part:

  * Create a new route (can use "log" as example)
  * Create a route report file (can use etc/log_transaction as example)
  * Add the route (e.g. "cascade log send_cXML main copy_user" )

The hard part:

  * Generate the cXML file.
  * Perhaps using one of the 10-bajillion XML Perl modules

I wouldn't worry about the easy part until you can generate the cXML from a 
standard interchange page ( using [item-list], [subtotal], etc. ).

If you didn't get caught, did you really do it?
