That all sounds very nice.

But how does it work for the VMS stuff that are already
open source?

I can tell you: two handful of people are doing all the
work.

It is problematic to find people to maintain the ifdefs
and build scripts of for VMS in many open source projects.

Expecting the community to do serious work on 25 MLOC
is unrealistic.
