This brings back memories of the first addon I wrote.  It was for my
hunter and it allowed me to just wave my mouse over a crowd of people
in a BG and it would give target frames for them along with their
health and class.

It allowed me to easily target lower health squishies to finish them
off.  :)

It was similar to the current addons like Proximo but I stopped
updating it when the targeting changes meant that it wouldn't work in
combat any more.
