I really don't think it should be that much work to get the basics
going, it might be a bit more to get more advanced applications up and
running.

I don't know anything really about the implementation of flexlm, but
I'd say it should be doable with a limited effort. Time to get out
that compiler and debugger and get hacking ;-)
