Michael,

Ralph is a volunteer doing this for fun. I just would have hoped that
since it was current at one point, the Gtk side of ASL would have been
integrated.

On my side I had started to look at it to develop a Free Software
application on Linux, and at one point I had started to make a build
system I understand, GNU tools based, to build on Unix.

Off course, nothing prevents you to develop on Unix platform. You could
still reuse Ralph patch that target 1.0.23 and port it to 1.0.27:

Actually better do it now than later when it will be more difficult with
the API changes.

The only problem is that if it never get integrated, it will be a
burdain for you (or anybody else using it) to maintain it.
