Nothing stopping updating as far as I know.

Can I suggest that if you do decide to update it that you convert
it to automake building. The trend over the last couple of years
is that if we are updating a package then convert it. There
are quite a few examples to follow in the lib directory. Just
look for directories that contain a "makefile" and optionally a
patches directory and not much else.

Greg
