Someone willing to update Insane Bump GIMP plugin?

This: http://opengameart.org/content/ground-p ... xture-pack (nice diffuse textures, but no normal or spec maps)

reminded me to look for a nice open-source & cross-platform Crazy-bump alternative again, for a convenient way to create normal and specularity maps out of a photo texture.

Now there is the still working normal-map plugin for GIMP:

http://code.google.com/p/gimp-normalmap/

Which is not bad by itself, however the result is only a normal-map and it doesn't have any advanced picture enhancing algorithms like crazy bump.

Now a bit for google searching found me this:

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... 0&start=30

http://code.google.com/p/insanebump/

http://irrlichtirc.g0dsoft.com/omaremad/

Which is sadly terribly outdated and has not been further developed since 2009 or so, however the results it seems to create look very nice. See this PDF for example:

http://irrlichtirc.g0dsoft.com/omaremad/insane.pdf

The source-code for this python GIMP plugin is available under the GPLv3, so I was wondering if there is maybe someone around here that could get it running under GIMP 2.8 and make a nice new release of it?

Thx!

Edit: Here are some instructions to maybe get it running on gimp2.8: http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=467
