[ic] Donation: FedEx Ship Manager tag

That's an awesome contribution.  I use FedEx and would like to switch to
using your tag instead of importing to QuickShip.  I'm adding USPS shipping,
and I looked through the archives for mention of a similar tag for USPS.  I
found some discussion of the possibility of integration with the USPS
WebTools API, but that discussion ended almost exactly 11 months ago.  Does
anyone know of any such tag that might have been developed since?
