The sources are to different. Ceres3 only supports mono-files and is
very non-thread-safe.
There are two options, either implement the missing features in ceres
to ceres3, or the missing features in ceres3 to ceres1.
Both are quite much work, but I think the last one is the least.

Øyvind Hammer has been working on Ceres in all years, the latest version
(0.15) was released in 2001 if I remember correctly, before I took over.
Even then, it compaired fairly to ceres3. So he never
stopped the development of ceres, still other people released both
ceres2, ceres2w and ceres3. I don't know why, perhaps they had good 
reasons.

A superceres would be nice, but the fork happened for a very very long
time ago, and an integration is not an easy task.
