BNN Port Request: Retro (FORTH dialect)

Hi, all-

Ever since the J1 core was posted to this list I've become very
interested in FORTH and its kin as a basis for an exceptionally open
computing platform.

The most interesting variation of FORTH (to me, anyway) is called
Retro. It's minimalist, actively maintained, runs on an extremely
portable MISC vm, avoids nonstandard dependencies, and is released
under the ISC License.

I'm writing to ask if someone with the BNN build environment set up
would be willing to try and make an .ipk of the current stable
release. Sources and other info are available here:

Thanks very much for your consideration.
