I would like to start small and then grow on the matter. First a fix
here, just to bring the package up-to-date. Then, becoming its
maintainer. Then, revamping the build system. Then, doing further
updates. And so on.

Since I am a minimalist in software (both by necessity and by
preference), I like smaller packages and I have interest in many other
aging packages that seem to be orphaned or RFA'ed.
As you have seen already, David has agreed to let me be package
maintainer. I will probably become one after the new version migrates to
testing (and I can contact the upstream site to download the newer
releases).

Thanks for your offer to sponsor my package, Rogério Brito.
