Phil:
Would it be an immense time-sink for you to develop and post a public
domain New-ABI-format-to-Old-ABI-format converter? From what you say, ABI
would give you the technical details for free, so long as you don't also
incorporate them into your (very fine) for-profit product.
I agree that it's shortsighted of ABI not to support development of
products which add value to theirs without cutting into their market.
