Ok

This would be nice.  Happy to help package some of the dependencies.

Ok. Probably the following can be packaged separately or used from Fedora
repositories (most are C++/C):
utfcpp
iTerm2-Color-Schemes
SPIRV-Cross
imgui
sentry-native
glslang
highway
breakpad
wuffs
wayland
wayland-protocols
plasma-wayland-protocols
libev


Would suggest adding patches to relax the version requirements.
