That's me.

It's got some problems.  Applying the ape diffs (Scott Schwartz has them
somewhere) and rebuilding will help make some of the networking stuff work
(via the socket emulation code in APE) a bit better than it does in the
binaries that are there.  There are still problems with it that I did not
have time to debug (some of the modules make it crash).
