[Slackbuilds-users] Does anyone use mfe?

I'm in the process of updating configobj, so I'm testing out everything
that depends on it...

mfe will compile and run with the new configobj, but fails to launch
mednafen due to an unsupported "-nes.vblur" command line option. I dug
into the mednafen source and changelog... this option was removed from
mednafen in 2010, and our SlackBuild was updated to a version without
the option in 2012. Meaning, mfe has been broken for 11 years.

mfe's maintainer, Luis Henrique, has been inactive since 2013.

mfe hasn't been updated upstream since 2013, and hasn't worked with
any version of mednafen since 0.9.12 (released August 2010).

Does anyone actually use mfe, and want to take over the build? It will
need patching to work with modern mednafen.

If so, please respond to this email... if I don't hear from anyone
about this in the next week, I'm going to remove mfe from our repo.
As it stands, it's utterly broken and useless.
