I don't have time to do it right at the moment, but since this is
pre-compiled binary software, updating the port yourself and sending
the patches in with a PR would not be a complex task.  I'm confident
that you could do it.  Start here:

The URL for downloading the bugger is here:

Good luck, and thanks in advance!
