But we've know about it for a week. That's plenty of time to register a
source-forge project, knock up a coming-soon webpage, install a piece of
webforum software and a blog, and maybe a wiki, produce a list of things that'd
be cool to fix or add "if ID hadn't been so lazy" and a short treatise on why
this port is better than the other two. (A commercial port would send the
t-shirts to the printers here. ^_^)

Actually importing the codebase into an SCM and working out what setup you
can build it under is prolly the minor part of this process. ^_^
