Where do I find this? I've had a look at the website and all I can see is the
daily builds.

I found the answer and it is using this very package as an example!

However, still don't know where to find older tarballs.
You probably won't be able to find a tarball - there *should* be some
way to check out the source tree directly from CVS as of the date that
you are interested in - I'm not a CVS user directly, myself, so I
don't know what those commands would be off the top of my head - maybe
some CVS guru (or at least casual user!) could chime in here?
