Mark, I didn't know about this project. It's really useful. I gave a
short try to the patch set and made up a draft Debian package out of
it.
You can apt-get it at:
deb http://apt.agnula.org/buildd/autorelease/ ./
If you find them interesting here there are some sound fonts for
Fender Rhodes:

It seems they are GPL.
