Yes, it is bad that it isn't somwhere in a public repository and also needs
an ancient MacOS (upto 8) only toolchain to build - this all makes improvements
very hard.

We had this thread before and had folks trying to create a local working
build environment for it.

We probably could throw in some porting effort, is there any cross-toolchain
nowadays that could generate MacOS 8 or earlier binaries?
