Nope. in.pmd is just a HUGE pain in the ass to port. And it seems every
damn time an OS is 'upgraded' they mess up the TTYs and PMD needs to be
re-ported. Since it is used by a rapidly shrinking percentage of users
and investing the engineering time became a rapidly diminishing return.
And the source has too many hooks into ComOS so it was decided that
it would just never be released.
