Perhaps I should offer more than Om. :)

A number of people have threatened to do what Peter Denno did for 
Cells-Gtk and fire up a standalone Celtk project (or maybe he accepted 
ownership of the project after I started it -- yes, I think so).

If enough (or one energetic) of those remain perhaps it is time? Then 
you could merge your patches with the main version and keep moving 
towards the light (a portable Lisp GUI).

I would continue committing anything I do to Celtk under the Cells 
repository, mainly because I am too frazzled now to worry about keeping 
Algebra stuff out of other libraries.
