I'm not sure who would be doing that - I released most of the Xsun source
as open source last year after multiple people said they'd use it to provide
continued support for the old graphics, and so far no one seems to have
done anything with it, so there seems to be very little actual interest
in doing more than talking about how nice it would be if someone else
did the work to support old graphics.
