Well, those are things people can work on. Since Dragonfly hasn't
changed the structure, the old version of Vinum should work fine. I'm
prepared to help there, but I don't have the time for a full
maintainership.
As regards fool-proof setup, the setup was a "throwaway"
implementation which was unfortunately a little too good, so the
pressure to replace it was insufficient. It's relatively trivial to
do it right, but that would really require a rewrite of vinumconfig.c.
