M and Q calculations are simple division. If you can't do that in your head, you shouldn't be playing.

I think this is an unfair statement. Believe it or not, simple division and addition is actually hard for most people to do quickly. Calculating 9-10 M's (assuming single table) within 5 seconds is virtually impossible for the vast majority of players. This would be a great feature for software like PokerAce.
I do not think a feature like this would be against any TOS and if it was I would say that's very unreasonable. Sites already give you the average stack size so you're 90% the way there with Q. All of the information you need is available to you and I don't see this as any different than popping open the calculator and running some numbers really quick. If a program like Texas Calculatem can calculate odds based on fold depth *and* give you recommendations, I don't see how any poker site would have a problem with the assitance with trivial arithmetic like pot odds, M, and Q.
