1. I've heard about a test suite in the wiki, but I have little knowledge about it, is this what the examples directory is for? 2. While getting SPI on board would be nice, I doubt they would be interested in a niche project like ours. 3. MIT licensing isn't happening from what I've been told, not only would The Open Group need to get on board, but every contributor in the CONTRIBUTORS list (some of their emails don't even work anymore)
Personally, I think that your time would be used better if you helped us test and fix any issues with the AIX and HPUX port. These haven't been tested in possibly decades and at least for the HPUX port, I have strongly considered just removing it from the repo, it's death date is 2025 and even the linux kernel guys have orphaned support for itanium, i.e. the only architecture it will run on after March of this year (HP9000 is slated for EOL then).
