I find this particularly interesting since I had to implement a quantum simulator using Runge-Kutta numerical integration of the Schrodinger equation in school, for a computational physics class. It was fun to play with (great for making screensavers of waveforms), but I never got so far as learning how to implement quantum computing operations. There are several programming languages being developed for programming quantum computers (such as QCL[1]), but not a whole lot of awareness of them as far as I know. It'd be really neat to see an open-source QC simulator like this become the basis of a common Quantum Virtual Machine to make quantum programming more accessible to the Interested Hacker.
