If I remember correctly, the available beps are very outdated and the
newer versions don't even build a functional release due to the
requirement for a number of other 3rd party libs etc.

The old release (0.8x?) had had a native interface written for it.

A new release was being worked on (by Cian I believe) to update the
whole build including native front end eventually, but I think it only
got as far as the backend libraries building from what I saw on IRC?
