The page is still there on SourceForge, but no download. I found the Clover EFI bootloader by chance there, too, but it appears to load a UEFI environment from a legacy BIOS environment.
For the purposes of running Windows 7 on modern systems, we'd have to do the reverse, emulate a legacy BIOS environment from a UEFI system. XOM appears to fit this description, it simulates a legacy IBM BIOS on an Mac's EFI boot environment.
I only briefly Googled it earlier, but thanks for the ideas, rest assured, if I ever look into it and get Windows 7 running, I'll post about it.

Alternatively load and execute a CSM in your UEFI firmware, but we do not have a reference implementation of that and AMI, Phoenix do not want to share.
