The current release is actually ET++2.2 and is available 
by anonymous ftp from iam.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10] in "C++/ET++".

correct, and we indeed got some support in 2.2 to adapt 2.0 to g++
from Ron Guilmette and Tom Vijlbrief. But I would not characterize 
support from a "C++ Entomologist" and another 
gnu g(n)uru as "hacked by folks" :-).
The original authors are still in control of ET++ and the work on
ET++ is going on in the research lab of a large Swiss bank (UBS).
