Wow, that brings back some memories. I took that code and turned it into a somewhat interactive X11-based system in about 1991. Its claim to fame was that it could export the layout to HPGL, HPPCL, Postscript, or display it in an X window. I had a lot of fun working on that, but eventually some "big life changes" happened and I lost interest, and never released it.

I just dug around and found my last working source tree. (talk about bringing back some memories!) I think I will see if I can get it to build on a modern platform. :)
