Yes, I did mention something of the sort.

Honestly, I haven't done anything past looking at the current code. I
had to pack up everything when I moved over the summer and most of my
older stuff is still not unpacked. The one thing I did do was try to
get aranym running with some help from Finn Thain so I could use a
system that I do have setup to work on this. I got the emulator running
but I don't have Linux installed yet.

I know it's important, but I haven't had much time to work on it. If you
want to help out, it's greatly appreciated. I'm not sure what sort of
help you wanted to provide, but everything is still pending. Is there any
specific time frame that we need something working? I'm not sure of the
current schedule for lenny in terms of when the toolchain needs to be
ready and what version is expected to be used in the final release.
