Yeah it's been a while since I tried flectioned and I had to fix it a
bit to get it running with the current Tango.  I'll see if Thomas K.
will update the DSource version, but in the interim I've put my copy
here in case anyone wants to use it:

It's something we'll definitely re-examine.  We'd considered it before,
but flectioned is distributed under a different license than Tango,
coordinating releases may be an issue, etc.

As an alternative, what if DSSS could auto download and install
flectioned to get people automatically up and running with its stack
trace features?  It would mean writing an install script for DSSS that
modifies sc.ini/dmd.conf, but perhaps this would be worthwhile for some
people?
