Wonderful! I have had the plan to do it myself (also for a looooong
time), but I have had very much else to do.

Within a week I'd be happy to help you. I have made a first
approximation of a port of STk-3.1 which compiles, but there are many
parts of it that aren't finished.

(Yes, there is some limited support for OO in the interpreter. I
realized that I needed that when I started porting STk so I added
it.)
