Sorry, I looked quickly and didn't realize just how out of date this
package really was.  Bug #38026 contains the 1.8.0 availability notice
and was filed in May of '99.  I don't think James is likely to get to
this anytime soon...

If this interests you, have you thought about offering to adopt it?
