I located the "current" versions of those files in libbind 6.0.
(I put "current" in quotes because the file dates seem to be
2005-2008, so indeed development came to a stop a long time ago.)
They are *very* different from what we have, though. Some of it
is visibly cosmetic, but other parts have been rewritten quite a bit,
so it's hard to tell if the functionality is identical.
In the absence of a reason to think we have bugs that we need to
fix, I'm not sure it's worth analyzing the differences in detail.
I definitely wouldn't just adopt all the diffs blindly.
In any case, that RELEASE_CHANGES item is clearly a dead letter
now, so I'll go remove it.
