No, not yet.  Having had bad luck with applying the wrong version patch
in the past, I've been waiting for an 'official' update.

Noted as an option. Thanks!

Given that there's no response/info at all from that project either
here, at their site, on their own mailing list, or via email, as much as
it's useful/helpful functionality, I'm wondering whether it's wiser to
just get rid of it from production.

Adding supported 3rd-party functionality to Bind is enough of a hack for
mere mortals -- adding unsupported/dead code sounds like a really bad
idea.
