For what it's worth, Ben Asselstine has been working on updating it. A
pre-release of the updated version if being offered from
<http://www.asselstine.com/hhg.pdf>. You may want to read that one.

We're working on it. Slowly, but steadily. We're too few people to get
as much work done as we'd like. But: everone of you can contribute!
