Working on it. Ideally we'd like to compile this from scratch and not
include it as a binary. That is a bit tricky. I will give it a spin
before 1.0, and if it proves stable enough, we'll included it in 1.0.

If want to make certain I don't forget this, make a bug report in
bugs.gentoo.org about it, make it out as an enhancement request.
