Re: xlispstat for XDarwin on Mac OS X

I was wondering if there is any chance of xlispstat becoming a fink
package in the near future? It seems that like many programs for which
there have been PC, Unix and Mac versions, the latter two versions
tend to be moving toward a Unix version that will work on Macs. It
would make my life easier and give the Unixness of OSX, I don't ever
really care about Aqua support per se, since X11 works well enough for
everything I'd ever do. I have no ideas about the feelings of others.
