You can do an amazing amount of work with a 16-bit fixed point DSP.  I 
happen to not be a Linux fan, and suspect burdening a real-time, 
lightweight, memory- and CPU-constrained system with the overhead of 
Linux should be carefully thought out. Maybe it has been, I don't keep 
up with it.  I prefer my free tools to run under Windoze (and not with 
cygwin!), but then again I'm not developing them :-)  And maybe the 
tools you mention have been ported to Windoze!

Sasquatch is not happening very quickly, and isn;t on the front burner 
around here (K3 has consumed my life) :-(

Anyway, this sounds like a great idea, and probably should be pursued.

Go for it!
