Torrent Swapper for Portable Apps?

I just found out about a new Bit-Torrent program called Torrent Swapper. It's pretty much becoming the most popular Bit-Torrent program online & since it's open-source (as it's hosted on Source Forge), it would be an EXCELLENT CANDIDATE for becoming a portable app.

You can look at Torrent Swapper at http://bit-torrent.sourceforge.net

This would be a better alternative that uTorrent, IMO since it can be legally made into a Portable App program.

Introduction (from official site)
http://tibrium.neuf.fr/

This project is based on the original "Media Player Classic" and was created after Gabest, the original author, stopped working on it. Several new features have been integrated in this player, such as :

* An option to remove Tearing
* Translation in several languages (currently Czech, French, German, Korean, Hungarian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish)
* Additional video decoders and in particular H.264 and VC-1 with DXVA support (see specific section for details)

Clarify App Request Rules?

There's one rule not mentioned. How do you feel about requests for abandonware to be made a portable app? I'll give an example, so please don't take it as a real suggestion [though it'd be nice if legally possible!], so here goes...

Let's say Wolfenstein [the original Nazi-killing game] is abandonware. [I think it is?] And let's say I'd like the entire game or any other abandonware to be made portable. Or maybe Windows 3.1 [another example] so it can be placed on a laptop as the OS though the laptop has no floppy drive. [Win 3.1 is considered abandonware as far as I know]
