This would be a cool idea imho, for people running small 'communities' in AW
could set up web apps for people to get space in their area.
For example:

Mr Bob runs this town called Bobville, he has it divided into 100X100 Meter
Sections, with each section covered by some groundcover to prevent
vandalism/etc.

Mr Joe comes along and wants to build here, so he goes to the website, fills
out some app, picks where he wants to build, and if approved the perl/cgi
script automagiclly deletes Mr Bob's ground cover, and somehow covers it
with Mr Joe groundcover, using cit privilages maybe?.

I know someone has ported the SDK to PHP... that would probably allow you to do exactly what you're talking about. I don't know who did it or where it is, though.

couldn't you just use a PHP script and shell a bot?

PS. Brandon, the VB SDK doesn't work with VBScript

I agree here.. Yes, PHP *will* work. However it has to be run from a
Microsoft OS, because of the AW.dll and .lib files. They need to be
recompiled for linx/unix enviroment. However, the standard reply from AWCOM
is "We don't have the necessasry man power to take on a project like that"
:-/ Wait and see...
