AFAIK, Stephen is still on holiday, which currently is the biggest 
obstacle. :)

Also, there is (was?) a circular dependency between stuff from 'common' 
and 'graphics', requiring a hack in Makefile.common.  This will need to 
be resolved before merging.

Hmm, from the top of my head, functionally it's broadly complete.
What's missing is:

* The ability to enable/disable the virtual keyboard and keymapper at 
compile time.

* Documentation.

I believe there is currently a free one in the repository, but it is 
rather ugly.

Not yet, as far as I know. :-/

It's been some time -- I'll leave this up to Stephen when he returns.
