Ha! interesting. I even have a 20070815 (and others post-2004) version
that is not on that page. I'm wondering how I got that, maybe just a
snapshot off of CVS.

There are some in the Debian bug tracking system, some (most?) are related to
packaging issues though[1].

Well my number one wishlist item would be to change the hand rolled
makefile to something more maintainable where if I have to pass, say,
LDFLAGS, it'll get honoured by all tools.

I can certainly help with that, since I would like to do that work
anyway in order to refresh the debian package. If you want to stuff the
code in a git repository I can send patches in.
