Yes, please. I'd hate to see my little hacks become a standard of some kind. 
They don't use getopt(), the header handling is horrible (and, actually, 
has some blatant bugs), and I deliberatly didn't work with records more 
complicated than memo because I didn't want to get into application record 
structures, endianness, and all that stuff.

Interestingly, what might actually become less work than porting pilot-link 
conduits would be to write a compatibility library (for the SPC/DLP bits) 
and LD_PRELOAD it before pilot-link conduits (or link pilot-link against 
this library if the target architecture can't do preloading). You end up 
with the best of both worlds, I think.
