I was going to (yet again) post my views of the matter, but jorkany did so good of a job, why bother... ;-)

Needless to say the project is quite dead. Wishful thinking or repeating "it will get ported" doesn't actually get anything done, developers do. There is so much work involved that the bounty should be something around 10x for anyone to take semi-serious look. And even then, the totally unrealistic bounty rules make it nearly impossible to complete anyway.

How long would I need to pay a small team of say 4 developers to achieve such a task and would $250k cover it?

Lets just say they would likely get better paid doing regular programming work.

I don't see this mentioned often but here we go:

One nasty side of money being involved in a project is that it can also have negative effects. This would be so large project that it is unlikely that one single person could complete even part of it. The team members can get into nasty fights over how the money should be split, and different teams will keep the source to themselves in fear someone else might use it and get ahead (with GPL project that'd mean no betas to outsiders.. or anyone could request src).

As soon as someone gets to arbitrarily split the money, things will go sour. Friendships have ended this way.
