Porting wouldn't be hard. I don't remember the code right now (will
look into it when I get home) but probably the only thing you would
have to change would be mmap() to segattach(), or even simple
malloc()-style allocation. Knuth is rather old fashioned, so it might
actually work out of the box with APE, and with little changes with
native libs.
