Further research suggests that it is the Stracciatella project that runs natively on linux, and that it would be difficult if not impossible to merge the 1.13 modifications directly with that. However, the stated objectives of the project are " to make Jagged Alliance 2 available on a wide range of platforms, improve its stability, fix bugs and provide a stable platform for mod development." Focusing on that last point, if the project is open to user modifications, it may be possible to introduce the "spirit" of some (or all) of the 1.13 modifications without the difficulties of merging the two.
