Nope, given the initial quoted email from the main developer, I gave it zero chance of success, and not worth the bother. AFAICT I posted the patch to the public domain, so anyone can take it and use it as they see fit. Also, if Gentoo would ship this package, it probably should have this patch since it would enable the package to work with our default settings. However, we don't ship this package. I made a preliminary ebuild, but ran into some issues, e.g. it cannot replace `/usr/bin/man` because that would break lesspipe.sh's ability to view manpages. Concluding that (for me) the manpages didn't render any faster, or better -- I'd say even worse since I got no colours -- I decided to leave the package as is, because of no gain.
