Are you interested in it? I tried to get parts of it into mainline but as my patches were mostly ignored I stopped tracking mainline, so it is a bit bitrotten. If you are interested I could try to bring it back into shape for the current mainline.
One thing that I noticed is that even new code frequently breaks C++ compatibility. People are very fond of using C++ keywords as variable names... Thomas
