I don't much know about idiot proof but I've got an archive with over a
thousand different tunings lying around here that I downloaded from
somewhere.  I've never used them (yet) but there are some pretty wacky
ones in there according to the documentation.

If (a few) people are interested I can e-mail them to you (~300kb of zip
archives); if there's a rush, I'll try to remember how to upload things
onto my web site and post out the URL.  Of course if anyone else knows
where this came from originally, they might save me the trouble and post
a URL directly.
