It falls into the category of "don't ask questions you don't want the answers 
to". It will likely lead to the discovery of many vulnerabilities, some 
possibly difficult or impossible to fix based on the remaining knowledge of the 
code and the resources available.

There is no active development. There have been build process changes of late, 
but nothing else really of note.

s/help/do the work, then I'm happy to see it happen, but I have no knowledge 
of, nor time to, work on such a thing.
