Perhaps I've expressed myself a little wrong. Consider me an upstream developer,
rather than a package maintainer. (I've only created a package since it's a
little easier to install than a .tgz. If my sponsor wants/needs to create a new
package from source, that's ok with me.)

Still looking for a sponsor...
