I haven't integrated it with the website (it still refers to 0.2 all over
the place) but I've put my 0.3 implementation online at

	http://www.watson.org/fbsd-hardening/tokens/fbsd-tokens.0.3.tgz

It's not a completed release, but includes code for FreeBSD to modify
their send/recvmsg functions to allow processes to pass tokens from their
PAG to the remote process, and the beginnings of a tokend.  I'll have to
dig through my code tree some more to find the finished tokend.  The
docs/proposal.txt in 0.3 is more complete, I believe.
