Very not. Altough It's only some 20000 lines of bash code (not counting
grimoires which are also bash) there is no point in porting it. Even if
dylan wouldn't be a yet smaller niche i can hardly imagine porting it
without redesigning big time.

anyones erm... intentions:

If all you want is someone to help you add a software package to
sourcemage you could have just asked right away. Maybe you still can ;^)
