I got lots of responses from my curtain query and I wanted to thank
everyone for their ideas and insights.  The overall consensus was to make
my own in one of 2 ways:

1. buy aluminum slats, do some fancy bending and screwing and use them as
the curtain hangers (this is how many of the aftermarket kits work)
2. make wolfsburg-style snap in curtains (better light-leak protection)

I guess it's up to my mom now since she's the one who will be sewing them!

thanks everyone...
