I've added that method, although I can promise that I will soon refactor it.  I
really don't like that the "new" method gets an ARF report and the "create"
method gets a standard MIME message.

This may just get solved by having the MIME message representation of an ARF
report available via an "as_email" or "as_string" method.  (Then again, it's
nice to have parsed reports be immutable and generated reports be mutable, but
cautious programming is probably better than premature complexification, now.)

The "create" method appears in version 0.001, on the CPAN now.
