Not horribly relevant to this list, I know, but I've chatted with LilDevil a few times in the #geocache IRC channel, and I've asked about these things. The code isn't available because the configuration engine he uses is based on something he wrote while contracted to some company, and doesn't own the right to distribute source. I think I remember him saying he was working on finding a way to provide binaries for Linux and OS X in the near future. |
