Not too difficult does not mean it won’t be time consuming.  Time is
not something I can volunteer these days, hopefully others will be up
to the task.

My priority right now is cleaning up APE’s getsockopt to support other
Python scripts, a new build of Python and Mercurial—with hggit.  We 
should have had decent getsockopt() and setsockopt() implementations
for a while, both will be needed for any more advanced APE dependencies—
possibly including trying to port git if you want SO_KEEPALIVE.

I look forward to Go’s fifth version control system.  Hopefully that
one will be concise, written in Go, and not gimmicky with cartoon
advertising everywhere.
