Yes. Kevin has contributed his port, so it is part of cc65.

Some modules have been written solely by Kevin, others are based on modules
written by me and used with only minor or no changes. In addition, there are
modules completely written by me for some reason. All this explains why a lot
of the Apple modules have my name in them.

If you want to rewrite and/or update the Apple II support library, shouldn't
you have an idea, which functions you want to rewrite and/or update? :-)

Out of my head, this is what is missing in the Apple library:
* The clock() function (seems to be quite difficult to implement on the
Apple).
* A complete set of file I/O functions.
* Routines for rs232 communication (NOTE: I'm currently redoing the rs232
API to use loadable drivers, so it's not a good idea to add that now).
* Drivers for extended memory, joysticks, mice, ...
