I wanted to plug in various currencies, or as it were permit various currencies to plug in by making gateways for various currencies, but so far that still is being put off seemingly indefinitely.

Did you contact OpenCoin on that matter? Providing assistance for new gateways is among their highest priority tasks.
Only via forum posts basically. I am not looking to get some special foot in the door of a closed source system, what I had been about to do was to modify the gateway code per each of several coin types as free open source gateway code for a bunch of coins, based on the free open source gateway code already available in the samples collection.
However in addition to learning that people would not be able to use the gateway code due to unavailability of the rippled code, I also was told that actually the gateway code itself isn't suitable for real use, so all in all it seemed it was too early yet for people to start putting up gateways.
It also turned out that using other people's rippled means revealing your 'secret' to them, that was the biggest reason in fact for the absolute need to run a rippled of one's own.
So all in all it was a long way from being ready for people to start realistically using.
Before starting to adapt the gateway to more currencies for example, it needs to be robust enough for real production use.
Presumably the gateways online so far are either flaky code, not suitable for use, or had failed to submit pull requests of their fixes, or were straight-out proprietary systems from the get-go.
