    Hi Thomas! 
    
    I have no problems with taking care of the maintenance of the package,
    as you say, it is not complex maintenance as it is a simple header.
    
    Also, as you can see from @sthen fixes and the ones you have given, I
    am quite new to this and I have to learn a lot, but I think that is a
    path that I am already walking.
    
    In any case, if you consider that I can take this package, I would like
    to add the graphics/glad one as well, as well as the other new port
    that I have uploaded.
