FYI, someone was working on this last year (Howard Su
<howard0su@gmail.com>) but I haven't heard from him in ages, either on
arm@ or on irc.  I'm afraid he got frustrated and wandered away because
we really didn't have the resources available to give him any support in
his efforts.  There are some old messages about it in the arm@ archives.
