I have a new version of Clotho on the table, based on a new version of 
Bosco that I did a month or so ago, and I plan sometime 'soon' to try 
merging your Hemlock sources into it.

But I'm kind of in the same boat as you regarding time to do it. If 
people are patient enough, I'll eventually get it done. If they aren't, 
well, I'm always glad for other people to do the work I was going to 
do.
