I pushed the patch upstream about on November 2004 (see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1073951&group_id=979&atid=300979),
 but unfortunately the project seems to have been dead since at least a year 
before that.

Although I can't answer that, is it possible that you are in contact
with somebody upstream? The patch is trivial, it just adds three wrapper
functions to the already existing bunch, and it doesn't remove or change
anything else.
