It'll happen when someone who can do it feels like doing it. I'll try it myself once I get the prototype the engineers are building (with this year's edu controller). Maybe one or two weeks? Someone want to start now?
The compiler and linker and all that stuff seem to work fine through wine. I might try replacing them with gpasm and sdcc, but it seems too much trouble right now.
Why don't you just setup some small linux box as a cvs server and let students use whatever platform they want?
