I have my own version that I patched to support features I wanted
(controlling what files are imported, handling shared files in a
semi-smart way, and some other stuff).  I provided my changed to Laine,
but never heard back from him.  Since www.laine.org has been down, I've
been contacted several times for the scripts.  Given that situation, I
am considering putting together a site for my modified versions of the
scripts. You can send your patches to me and I'll try to incorporate
them into my stuff.

If someone else wants to take over maintenance, or if Laine would like
to speak up, I'm ok with that too.
