I don't know this URL. I will change the origin URL as soon as possible.

I have found this organization and the repository late. Sometimes, I 
upgraded the library from the original repository and built the library

I have used vcpkg sometimes to get needed libraries to build librrd.
The lib RRD found on PECL deps folder is too old.
