I personally don't have the time for it, I actually don't even work with 
GPIB stuff any more.  Also, the code itself isn't all that great in my view, 
and does various things in idiosyncratic ways.  I don't forsee ever having 
the time and motivation to do any further overhauls of it however.  I do 
like to think I shepherded the code from complete crap to bearable 
mediocrity though.
