You have a problem with an open source tool.
You have the source.
You have the skill.
Fix the code and send the patches to arch.
It is, after all, exactly what you suggested I do with LTK and GCL.

In the alternate you can use CVS to access sourceforge or savannah
which are up to date sources for Axiom. Thus you really don't need
Arch.
