Character count in current paragraph

Hi, guys!

Looking for some Vim voodoo a little bit outside my areas of expertise!

I'd like to put the number of characters in the current paragraph (i.e. area
between empty lines) in my ruler, or have it displayed when I press a key (either
will do). That will save me having to exit normal mode and do vipg<C-g> and then
scan the status line for the relevant count every time I'm interested in it. I'm
editing 7-bit text, so number of bytes would be just as good.

I'm in a bit of a hurry and would just love it if one of you could chuck me an
answer that I can copy and paste!

Thanks a bunch in advance,

Ben.
