I too would like to see dtksh updated (but not removed, no matter how bad it is!).
But then I'd also like a url to what you have to transform the AT&T code into something that will build on Solaris, so I can build it myself, try to understand some of the issues, and just play around a bit. I'm also wondering if it might not be too difficult to re-create dtksh out of modern ksh, even without the dtksh source. For instance, most of the added builtins seem to have symbols of the form do_NAME, not unlike the b_NAME for for builtins loadable from a library. Don't forget tksh, by (I think) one of Korn's sons; that allows Tk (and even tcl scripts) to be combined with ksh scripts. Although a Gtk (or Qt) version would be pretty cool for a similar role in those environments as dtksh has for CDE. But the former might be an interesting how-to for that sort of thing, at least.
