I was taught in school to focus on one thing and do it 
well.  The more functionality you add to a program, the 
more code has to be written, etc.  The two ideas are clearly 
separate problems.  I'm not saying you can't share code between 
the two programs, I just don't think they should be lumped 
together in the same program.  Adding more code to any program 
will always introduce more bugs due to probability and 
statistics.
