I have built 1.83 for the HP.  It takes effort to package it up for
distributation.  I am now waiting for 2.0  which I will build and
package.  A previous port of mine is avaliable on wuarchive.

The only other way I know of is to do a cross compile.  I did that
with version 1.57 (if memory serves) and have since updated to EACH
new release as it came out.
