I am tempted to give it a try especially since it «solves» the modifier
problem, I need super and hyper for keybinding.

Ok homebrew was the last on my list because of its lack using sudo.
Did you try out macports?

Hm I tried to compile it on fink but not with that option and it failed.
The fink version has problems with modifier keys (it relies on Xquartz,
