Jason from the OpenVMS group has done this, though I don't know where that code is or how OpenVMS distributes it. I decided against doing it myself, mainly due to lack of time. Jason has stated that there are lots of changes and I suspect some of them are more complicated than others. We did offer to put them into our distribution so that it can keep more in synch but apparently that would be a lot of work.
