Any way to run tinc on MikroTik routers?

Hello,

Please excuse my (probably newbie) question, but:

Since RouterOS, MikroTik's proprietary OS, is largely based on GNU/Linux,
anyone knows a way to run tinc on a MikroTik device?

This would be in order to make an (imposed, no choice given...) MikroTik
device (say the B1100AHX4 router) to participate in a tinc mesh, in
interoperation with GNU/Linux machines.

Please see:

(Confession: after using tinc for a few years, on a few dozen free software
machines, going back to point-to-point L2TP/IPSec tunnels, even with
Strongswan, would be a NIGHTMARE. This is just because someone in the
organization insists in using hardware routers and proprietary software...
So this is a cry for help ;-)   )

Friendly regards,
Răzvan
