Need to create blob object from javascript generated data #786

Our use case is to generate binary data (a PDF report) in javascript code
while the user is offline.  We need to then serve that up to the user so
that they can download/print the report.  Others have mentioned this use
case as well:

I've compiled Gears from SVN and the Blob Builder does exactly what I need, can 
it be
enabled in the official builds and if not what can I do to help?

Test code:

var builder = google.gears.factory.create('beta.blobbuilder', '1.0');
builder.append('test!');
var blob = builder.getAsBlob();
var storeFactory = google.gears.factory.create('beta.localserver', '1.0');
var store = storeFactory.createStore('store');
store.captureBlob(blob, 'test.txt', 'text/plain');
