There were significant security vulnerabilities in the port, and
no-one in the community apparently cared enough to fix them.  As far
as I can remember the software also used a pretty alien directory
structure when installed, which was one of the problems in getting it
updated.

If you want to re-port a fixed version then by all means please do.
