It's exciting to see someone else try to tackle the same problem as me. Approximately a year ago i also attempted to implement a mod manager for Linux, but the progress halted a bit when i got satisfied with how i could mod STALKER Anomaly (plus some other errands which ate up my time).
I attempted to create a generic mod manager

I've seen that case insensitivity is a big deal (which is a shame, but i guess that is due to different name handling on *tux/Windows. Luckily it isn't the worst problem to handle, and can be followed here

There is simply no need for native modding tools, when we aren't dealing with native games, IMO. Better to just use a shunt program, to trick Steam into launching the Windows mod manager directly. Then you know it's going to work as Valve intended, and you can manage everything through Steam like normal.
