If it's a case of "you just need the hardware to make sure the existing 
code works", let me know and I'll figure out where to send it, or I can 
get a devbox online for someone.

As far as paying someone, I don't know how many hours of work this is, or 
what API/ABI changes are required between 7.x and 10.x, but I'm open to 
hearing it (off-list, please).
