I'm afraid I haven't kept up to date with JACK's development, so don't
know what needs to change.
I did some work towards trying to make it load the jack libs
dynamically, in order to be able to distribute binary versions across
different platforms, but that ended up making the code rather more
complicated than it needs to be.
You might want to start from scratch!

Sure thing.

That would be great; I should have some time this weekend to put a new
release out if the code is ready ;-)
Whatever you do, I recommend you start from the latest code from
Subversion, as that's what I'll be basing the next release on.
