Updating Steampunk/Steam-Tech for 4e

As a self confessed steampunk myself I would happily buy an updated 4e Steampunk.

In the past few years the definition of steampunk has extended to cover much more than the "victorian era" (or however you choose to label it, though I doubt a steampunk suppliment is the best place to push to change that definition, it'll most likely confuse or alienate than anything) infact 4e GURPS reflects that with neither Brittanica-6 or the upcoming Girl Genius taking place in the victorian age as we know it (Victoria was never born in the Brittanica-6 and so far there have been a few veild references to a British Queen but very little has be revealed about that as of yet.)

Without a doubt there is alot of money to be made. out of the Steampunks I know there are many roleplayers but none have a difinitive system to use (though those who know of it hold GURPS Steampunk in high regard, if a bit out of date). Also there seem to be alot of publishes scrambling for more steampunk material out there. Recently a number of Waterstones boook stores replaced their monthly recommendations displays for Steampunk ones.
