I want to second this.  GRX 2.0 was not finished by its author, but
that doesn't mean it cannot be improved by others.  It doesn't even
have to be a single individual (although it helps).  But since quite a
few people and packages use GRX, its deficiencies notwithstanding, I
think it's a shame that it retains the same bugs and unfinished code
as it had 2 years ago.

Why not, indeed?  Nothing in DJGPP ever moves ahead unless there are
people who have enough motivation to do that.
