I would suggest to send a copy of it to the author of LAML and/or
looking for someone who will adapt it further. 

BTW I was able to run it under Linux using MzScheme. So it seems to be
not to difficult to port to other Scheme-dialects. (Unfortunatly one
have to take care of differences, and that's one thing  I do not like
about Scheme. I can't easily use things implemented in on Dialect in
anotther)
