Well, the enthusiasm was for use, not for maintaining a fork :-)
I had a brief look at the code (literally less than 5 minutes). The good
news is that it is admirably small. A fork isn't a bad idea, though,
especially as a pgfoundry project. I can think of several excellent
candidates for such a project (no names, no pack drill) ;-)
I should mention that it's a perl app.
