Cost calculator script displayed in Pronterface

Hi !

I have succesfully integrated this script to my Slic3r to compute the cost of a print. [github.com]
More about this script can be found in book - Instant Slic3r - (preview with instructions here, just register for trial to view it: [my.safaribooksonline.com] )
The script adds two lines at the end of generated g-code. For instance:
; filament used = 517.2mm (3.5cm3 or 4.38g PLA/3.68g ABS)
; costs = EUR 0.22 (PLA), EUR 0.07 (ABS)
But when you want to see this info in Pronterface, you must go to Tools>Edit and then scroll to the end of given g-code to view this info.

Is there any way to make Pronterface load this info directly to the console area, where info like estimated duration and fillament lenght used is ?
I thin it would be nice extension and lot of people would appreciate it.

Thanks a lot !!
