Some time ago I wanted to retire as maintainer of M-Tx.  I was persuaded
to carry on, but on the condition that I supply only Free Pascal source --
other people build binaries for Windows, Mac etc.  My main reason for so
doing is that p2c is no longer maintained, but Free Pascal is.  It is a
major effort to keep M-Tx source compatible with the quirks (read: bugs)
of fpc and it requires someone who wants C source more fervently than
I do.  If you are putting up your hand to do this and keep doing it,
I will advise, but IMHO you would be flogging a dead horse.
