FWIW, Riverlayout is available from https://github.com/Deses/RiverLayout

If you've used any of the 4GLs it will seem familiar because it uses the
placement metaphor of tabbing along a line, with the width of each
displayed component on a previous line providing the 'tab width'.

I've never got on with GridBag and friends, so discovering RiverLayout
was truly like a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for that!  I wasn't aware of the connection between amd64 and
x86_64. Looks like I'l mstill have to build it though, and it also looks
as though it would need to be LDC.
