torhu, care to file a ticket?
that way it might get fixed.
Looking at the other tickets I know that it might seem that people do 
not look much at it (I think tangobos was not really much maintained, 
but just whoever needed it fixed what it needed), but I recently merged 
gdc phobos into it, and if feasible I will try to fix it.
