OK, thanks. I think I know how to improve at least 8.

They are in contrib, so basically made available for people that want
them, without digging through version control.

I'm sorry to hear that afew isn't ported yet. The bindings have been
deprecated for almost 5 years, and it's hitting a point where additional
work is needed to keep them building. I admit this work is minor, but it
seemed like a good time to finally pull off the bandage. Whatever issues
the new bindings might have, the old ones have segfaulting bugs that
seem impossible to fix.
