Volodymyr has pointed out that this was a port (and not a
binary package) that never got committed. As a port, you can
examine precisely what it does and it may be worth a try if you
feel that it doesn't mess with your installation and doesn't
compromise it. I didn't try it, can't say anything at all about it.

-cpghost.
