Hi Josh. You might want to email Owen ( I think he is maintainer ) telling
him you are interested. Probably the best way to indicate you are doing it
is to start submitting patches :) Having ported a few programs already, I
feel that the most important thing is to make the first steps in porting ie.
get the app building and running.  If you get to that stage submit a patch.
You can then fill in the blanks later.

Regards,
Kevin
