Do you mean, the dynamic module itself?  Which machines would you
build it for?  Which systems?  I worry that you'd be undertaking
a task that could expand without bounds.

                                                        so others can

Github is a bad choice, for moral reasons -- see
https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html for
explanation of why.  How about choosing a better repo?
