I'll work on the Delitzsch NT. I've got a copy and have been meaning to 
process it for a while.

Our current "HebModern" text is not the Delitzsch NT. Conceivably it's 
some other edition, but its text differs considerably from the Delitzsch 
NT I have. It also includes an OT translation, which Delitzsch didn't 
do, so it should be pretty obvious that it isn't Delitzsch's.
