Thanks for the comments. It was an interesting project, inspired as these things so often are, by some idle conversation in the pub about the insufficient range of the 8-speed hub for touring use, when low gears for steep hills are needed!
I've tried combination hub/rear derailleur before, but this seemed a much simpler concept and much easier to alter gearing as chainrings are very quick to change.
