From what I've read, this won't be happening. At least not by the official team.

Is there any actively maintained fork for a desktop? not a chrome web-browser.

[Dyras]

@jangorecki There was talk of a Java client in the mail list. Don't know how it's going and I don't really care since it will probably never be up to par with Signal-Chrome

[shvchk]

There is an installer for Signal Desktop as a standalone app, without Chrome dependency

[sergeevabc]

@shvchk, this so-called standalone requires another dependency instead of Chrome, which is NodeJS.
What we need is a truly portable Windows binary to work right out of the box, like Telegram does.

What we need is a C library, so it will be easier to write various types of apps, or a Pidgin plugin.

Though I am pretty sure you do not want a C library. There are better programming languages around which are capable of producing a shared object with a C ABI, which you can link against anything you want.
