I simply do not have the time to do it myself. I can provide pointers for
any one interested though:

Start by checking out Murrine from Gnome svn:

  svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk murrine

Use an svn checkout to make it easier to create diffs/patches ('svn diff >
mypatch.patch'). To set up a development environment use:

  sudo apt-get install libcairo2-doc libgtk2.0-doc devhelp anjuta
  sudo apt-get build-dep gtk2-engines-murrine

Now you should be able to build murrine from source - Run

  ./autogen.sh (only needed the first time)
  make
  (don't do 'make install')

Now https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MikkelKamstrupErlandsen/ThemeEngineTricks will
tell you how to create a symlink in your home dir to have the system pick
the compiled engine up (you should not have murrine installed).

Anjuta is a nice code editor and devhelp is a documentation viewer.

Get hacking :-) Cheers,
Mikkel
