I have a package of it built, although I'm not sure it's
the latest version. I thought we had a volunteer to maintain
it.

I had to make lots of source changes to get it to compile
with gcc 2.95* because of the stricter compiler (C++
in particular). There may be an upstream version of
qsstv which uses qt2 now which would be nice.

I also got the author's permission to link it against
qt2 I think (QPL license).

Please go ahead and package it. I can send you my diff
if you want.
