The current status of everything, in a nutshell:

1) The GUI has undergone huge improvements since you last saw it.
2) We've switched to postgres entirely, although the latest alpha
   version of mysql might work (basically, we needed sub-selects which
   isn't available until the next major release of mysql).  We've
   tried hard to make everything portable, but we haven't tested
   anything with mysql lately.
3) the IPsec management portion is now installing the newest IPsec
   management SNMP MIBs, but the code in plutoplus is out of date with
   respect to the MIBs, as we ran out of our source of funding to work
   on IPsec management.  It's hopeful that we'll pick it up in the
   future again but we're not sure quite when.  We know for a fact
   that the current GUI doesn't work with the current ipsec clients,
   though.
