There is no branch to merge yet.  We first need to get it into a
branch.  Then people will have a chance to work on it.  At the moment,
it is only kept in a completely different repository.

I don't think it would be a good idea to merge it into trunk before
other people actually had a chance of assessing the problems and

are guesses.
