Great to see this here!
Some ancient years ago, before I was an adult, I tried to help with this, even had MSN Messenger contact of Ecalot (he was leading the charge on such projects). And tried to contribute to a new map editor with integrated SDL-based engine, had to learn a lot back then, it was my first time seeing GAWK, and my first time seeing GDK, among other things.
Now people on this thread have some questions, I think I can answer, being involved in the community for a while.
1. Why?
PrincEd, the site mentioned there, is a map editor, after someone released that "Prince 4D" mod for the DOS version, PoP fans basically were amazed by it and it created a cool modding community, but the engine is seriously limited, a lot of things can't be done, thus people kept wanting a new updated engine, specially if we could port the graphics of the other versions to PC.
2. Why the DOS?
Probably because the first mod was Prince 4D for DOS, and all mods are for that version.
3. Won't Ubisoft be mad?
As far as I know this never been an issue, I believe as long we don't get tangled with the fourth-game and onwards that is the games made AFTER they bought the IP, seemly they don't care.
