Had a look at pcem-x and the code is quite sound though it still needs work which is understandable.
From the "drama" section phun intended

im actually happy that someone who seems to have grown up in an environment where copyright seems to be king is actually going over to the open source side and shares his work.
Still a lot of bugs to be squashed but as long as we keep sharing fixes it will get somewhere

Productivity is a state of mind.
