Do you mean packaging it together with gpasm and friends?

I don't actually use JAL myself, so I don't really have an opinion.

For gpsim, adding support for gpasm in JAL could be nice, since I 
think you have to reassemble the asm file with gpasm for it to
work with gpsim. gpsim looks for line numbers only when loading 
a cod file.

Does anyone know how active the development of JAL is? I ask since
when I try to compile any file with the cvs on sourceforge it failes
with:

It has been like that for a long time. It works with Wouter's version.

BTW, the gnupic page should be updated. It says JAL is not open sourced.
