I think i should warn everyone that it's not an easy route, and that
one won't get full compatibility with the SHR apps (they required one
manual call with mdbus2 and a bit of binary patching). But for my
purposes this process works really great, i'm still using this as my
only phone.

I'll get round to it really soon. All the code is there for everybody
to see. And i've already got one user (thanks, ZaPPaS!) who's using it
with SHR-u with dbus-daemon-proxy [1] and emacs23 running on his
host. Emacs23 in SHR feeds is (hopefully) coming soon.
