The package is orphaned since a few minutes ago, and I had a look at updating
it to a newer upstream version.  But there is a licensing problem.  The pev
code is GPL, and it links to OpenSSL without the OpenSSL exception, leading to
a license issue when distributing binaries.  The OpenSSL dependency was 
introduced
in version 0.60.

I did not have time to try to port it to GnuTLS.  Pleaving that for a future
maintainer.
