Unfortunately, I haven't found any clear winners by far.  It doesn't seem that 
any of the tools out there are specifically for managing an inventory.  
Perhaps I'll be another to reinvent the wheel again down the road.  Most of 
the implementations I've found are hindered by database structures where they 
just won't allow an arbitrary set of attributes for items in the inventory.  
I'd love to have found one that would work with just a small adjustment, but 
it's just not feasible without a ground-up implementation I guess.

Enetman was the closest I found to what I wanted, but only because it allowed 
a bunch of the attributes that I was looking for, though not all.  I could 
almost have made it work, but it kept making Firefox crash, so I just won't 
bother.
