[Building Sakai] software plagiarism plugin?

I have searched around a bit and not found any software plagiarism detection software connected to Sakai. Two of the most commonly used (free) ones are MOSS & JPlag, and there are various front-end interfaces for JPlag at least.

I am wondering firstly why no-one using Sakai for computing courses has found a need for or developed such a system, or if I just haven't yet found it.

Pending that some solution does not yet already exist, what would be eh best way to see how to build such an interface. E.g. how does Sakai interface to TurnItIn, seems it uses LTI - would this be a good model to study?

(Moodle has a plugin for some of these tools (JPlag), so they do provide interface capabilities, although at what level I do not yet know.)

Anyone around that could be recommended for a bid on contract work to create such an interface?
(We're more interested in usage than development of this for now!)
