Yep. It was frozen for a while.
Currently I'm working on it again.

control plane code was heavily redesigned, see 
http://bird.mpls.in/projects/mpls-bird/repository/show?rev=bird_mpls

I have some working MPLS code on 8-S and I hope to create freebsd svn 
branch with base MPLS support in 2-3 weeks.

Their control plane code is mostly useless due to design approach 
(routing daemons talk via kernel).
Their data plane code, well.. Yes, we can use some defines from their 
headers, but that's all :)

It is not 'linux' implementation. LDP itself is cross-platform.
The most tricky place here is control plane.
However, making _fast_ MPLS switching is tricky too, since it requires 
chages in our netisr/ethernet handling code.
