Mark Crichton (mmarker on IRC, macricht in CVS, I think) used to
maintain it (12 months ago) and took some pride in having it down to
zero or so bugs for a long time. He was needing it for an embedded
project. I don't know what Mark is doing these days (PhD and chemistry
are keywords, though).  He would be the person to talk to.
