Copy and paste from my reply to Bram:

It seems to me that plib development is a bit stuck at everyone waiting
on Steve and Steve not having time todo any work on plib, why don't you
(the community) take over / why doesn't Steve hand over leadership to
someone else?

You still didn't answer my question, does a proper written shared lib
support patch have a chance of getting merged? I know ask Steve, well
since he is not answering I'm asking you (the community) so what do you
think?

Regards,

Hans
