Hello, I'm the maintainer of Eina.

You are right, Eina is now unmaintained. I had some problems with
gstreamer-0.8 series during the development. I decided to wait for 0.9
(which is quite stable now, I'm looking again Eina and how to port it to
0.9).

Some points:
- I put svn again online
- It will not compile/work because it uses dbus <= 0.3x. If some one is
interested on try it, eina can work disabling the dbus features with a
bit of hacking :). It's a weak dep. 
- I can 'ping' you (and anyone who is interested) on eina updates.

My plan is to work with no schedule on Eina but with the hope to make it
usable again. Very thanks for the interest on Eina. I'll accept help
too :)

PD. Excuse my _very_ poor English please.
