You're welcome to do so though it has suffered from some bit
rot, most likely.  And there has been relatively little actual
attention in practice paid to things like bandwidth efficiency.

In theory, if you can get a C++ cross compiler to build the top of the
tree against some appropriate version of sfslite, it would just work,
assuming reasonable POSIX-y support for the iPhone... There should be no
fancy stuff like asm() instructions to get in the way.  Maybe there are
some floating point operations in the coordinates code, so that might be
an issue.

Hope this helps.
