Sounds good. What do you need to set it up? My sourceforge id is "bawjaws". Anything else required?

The specific instance that prompted the question was Admin -> Edit User Accounts that uses a POST for sending the search query to narrow the list, which means if you do more than one search it breaks the back button.
I usually tell users that they can always use the back button unless they changed something, in which case they'll be stopped from making the same change twice. Hopefully that will remain good advice.
Is there any developer guidelines for using GET rather than POST in Moodle form submissions?
It appears the back end is agnostic as you can add the relevant terms to the end of a URL for a POST submission and the same results come back.
It appears at the moment POST may be slightly overused, which breaks browser navigation unnecessarily. Has this been done to avoid the internationalisation problems talked about at the end of this document?
You seem to have set the style of links so that they are indistinguishable from normal text (until you hover over them). This is probably acceptable, even appropriate, for the course menus, block menus and permananent navigation, but it makes finding links within resource text a bit of a guessing game. I think you should be able to target just the resource text using the new CSS hooks (to add an underline or color change) but I'm not sure exactly how.
Sorry to go off on a tangent but you say:
VTrain is a great flash card program but we have the lesson module
I looked at a range of these flash card trainers a while ago and was impressed with their use of algorithms based on cognitive research to enable efficient rote memorisation.
My main problem with them was there seemed to be limited availability of relevant material (language vocabulary, science facts etc.) and entering it for your own use seemed a ridiculously high investment of time.
Does the Lesson module in Moodle include some clever algorithm for when a flashcard is redisplayed, based on time since last viewing and whether it was correctly identified previously?
And is there any attempt to collaboratively create and distribute the content for these flashcard lessons through Moodle.org?
