Unless other people volunteer, i'm afraid it won't be done.

Hellmuth is in ISDN these days, and his available amount of spare-time
has been dropping drastically after the birth of his daughter last
year anyway. :-)  I don't have an infinite amount of time available
myself, and pcvt basically does everything _i_ would need it for
(except no longer supporting 132 col's on my new video card...), so
the driving force for me is rather minimal.
