It is still possible, though a bit of a pain, to add local hacks to its standard behavior. The problem is that it must be done by replacing the "normal" versions of ccom and ld that it expects to see. (It has an option -qpath that tells it where to look for the different compile passes - just tell it to look somewhere else...) I don't know whether they plan to release it as a binary, or if so whether they plan to release sources to it, too.
