Yes, very impressive indeed.

No there aren't but I do know for a fact that timEd was ported to BeOS  
and obviously Msged. As for binkD and the husky stuff, I'm not sure  
about those. If binkD and the husky stuff could be ported to BeOS and  
assuming they would all run on Haiku, a Point setup could be cobbled  
together: binkD + hpt + timEd or Msged ;)
