Actually, if anybody’s interested… I’ve got an [ongoing] git mirror of Ingex
kicking around somewhere, and I’ve been slowly rewriting the build logic to be
auto{conf,make}+libtool-driven (I’m targeting an expanded set of platforms —
OpenSolaris, Mac OS X and Linux — so autoconf helps an awful lot).
Really should finish that off, actually. I’ve done most of AAF —
http://github.com/nexgenta/aaf — I need to get it to install the sources that
dumpmxf uses to somewhere useful, though, not to mention testing it properly.
Feel free to holler at me off-list about any of this.

Makes a lot of sense, now I know the background!
