I'm still working on this port, and as a trainee teacher I'm
struggling to get it finished. Another fellow (on this list) has
offered some patches for the current version, and hopefully they'll be
committed soon.

When I've finished the new version, I'll submit it as a separate port.

Sorry for the delay...
