I am not sure what you mean here. Do you mean that it does not
work and fixes are nontrivial? Or that everthing that 'mk_app'
is doing is done better elsewhere?
AFAIK 'mk_app' used to work and created "fully featured"
application bundle for Mac OSX. "fully featured" meaning including
working HyperDoc and graphics.

Well, for several years using clisp on Cygwin does not work.
IIUC it should work using ECL.

Well, they are "eternal" because they refer to specific past versions
of sbcl/Clozure CL which are not going to change. And AFAICS FriCAS
still can run using those versions.
BTW: most things in contrib are not part of normal FriCAS testing.
So they may get broken. Still, updating something that used to
work is much easier than re-creating the whole thing. So it
makes sense to keep even non-working contribs.
