This is good news. I think the latest FreeDink (109.6) does include some very useful fixes in terms of bugs and compatibility (such as sp_custom returning the correct value when a custom key isn't set, in line with vanilla 1.08). And it is highly compatible with every dmod, in fact some previously incompatible dmods on the earlier FreeDink version such as the scourger, are compatible in FreeDink 109.6. Only issue is I believe there is no direct linux port of 109.6. Only option is to try and emulate the 109.6 version on linux systems.
If linux support can somehow be added to 109.[x], I would defeinitely say this should be the way forward. If not, maybe a 108.[x] version of freedink might be best, so everyone can enjoy it, including linux users. By the sounds of what you are saying @DreamMaster, it sounds as though the work you would do on this would make it functional on several operating systems, if this is the case, I believe the latest 109.[x] is the way to go.
This is my opinion. Either way, this is good news.
