I don't.  The code, for 5 years has been sitting, unrevewed, on a branch.

The same issues as with any submition:

- It needs to be brought up to current coding standards.  The original 
code was written something nothing like the GNU standard.

- any invasive change needs to be individually presented for peer review

Having the code sit on a branch for 5 years doesn't in some way excuse 
the need to do this.
