Having just ranted against closed source DRIVERS (note the emphasis), I don't see anything wrong with commercial software packages. If enough of you and your friends get together and offer to pay $$$ for a package to do that, it will appear. Same as Quicken - someone had to sit down and write it and sell it. (sorry if I'm talking twaddel and Quicken is free as in beer. But I don't think it is). Heck - write one yourself. Start with Perl screen scraping code.
