well, "handle them properly" is not straightforward. Actually, I did port
ve and anusq to modern world systems; I do use them in my research; the
main issue was the reliance on an very old obsolete version of GMP. See
http://github.com/gap-packages/ve and https://github.com/dimpase/anusq
And Simon King has a lot of experience with meataxe - maybe he can tell
you how to deal with it.
(anusq, meataxe, and ve are all useless without their binary components).
