I have created new autotools files so that Tesseract can be built as

these changes without them being accepted upstream.
I sympathize with your position. For over a year, I have been
maintaining a local branch tracking the tesseract-ocr svn trunk with
some patches applied that do pretty much the same thing you're
describing, for some personal projects. I've also been building my
own .debs for Ubuntu for easy deployment in some projects I'm working
on.
i'm still very enthusiast with this project of forking Tesseract.
But as i said before, i won't do it alone, and i had not hear about
you guys. What amount of time and what skills could you be
dedicating to this project?
FWIW, there has been some recent activity in SVN, and several issues
that had patches attached have been committed. If you haven't already
submitted an issue+patch, perhaps now is the time to do so.
