Not really doable with our current access to AB, but we can have a tracker operating in 15 minutes from gaining access to a server with a mySQL database and PHP support.
In the most basic form, it's literally just the announce script, two database tables, plus a cleanup script running every now and then to remove "dead" peers (ie ones which have not connected to the tracker's announce URL for a certain period after their last expected communication).
Not pretty or convenient to manage, just serviceable.
