Possible problems:

It's released for Linux as a shared lib. Will it work under other free
Unix versions? What happens to our Solaris or other commercial Unix
users? It appears to be licensed for use under Windows. This could
cause problems distributing it - individual users are apparently
allowed to download it for their own use, the same might not apply to
distributing it as a package.
