Pre-Maemo5 versions had already been available in Debian and early
versions of Moblin (in fact I had released a Moblin version of the
Vagalume Last.fm client back then[1]). Later versions are also in
Debian[2] (compiling against upstream GTK by the way).

I think the hardest think is all the HildonStackableWindow stuff,
which on the other hand is very tied to how the Maemo window manager
works.

And then there's all the changes in Maemo-GTK, which should be ported
to the latest version. Although on the other hand it appears that
Meego is not going to switch to GTK 3.0...[3]
