As far as I know, the fellow who wrote and compiled the Windows version of
GC 3.21 never distributed the source code for the interface.  If he were
listening, and might divulge the code, then it would be a simple matter to
merge the interface with future versions of GC.  Otherwise, there is no
alternative to but to re-invent the wheel.  If I take it on (maybe this
summer) then I will surely make the source code freely available.
