That seems to be the very problem we are confronting.   We cannot expect
developers to do this kind of work for free.    So, unless someone finds
it useful to pay for the support, JGNAT seems destined for the dustbin
of great ideas.   Then again, since the source code is in the public
domain, perhaps this is one of those projects someone with a lot of
time on their hands would be willing to do for free.  Not likely.
