This is not really what's stopping the porting, is a problem, but 
an independent one. My idea was to port the GC as it is in Tango, 
and then see how to overcome its limitations.

The problem is it's very hard for me to dedicate time to this 
porting effort. The decision to make the port happen is there, I 
just how to figure out how and when. I'll keep you posted when I 
have news.
