[ot-ish] fuzzyocr still being developed?

[snowcrash+spamassassin <sc...@gmail.com>]

following the numerous questions on list, i've gathered that fuzzyocr
is rather popular -- we use it, too.

i've not noticed recent bug-fixing, src dev (~ 1 month), or comments
here, from the dev.

just wondering -- is the proj still alive? dev vacation, maybe? or,
has the proj been subsumed _into_ SA when i wasn't looking?

thanks for any input/update.

if true, then certainly fair enough. thanks.

given that image-spam has become such a huge part of the battle, is
that "a fuzzyocr" should be _in_ the SA project/distribution.

i'm sure there are myriad reasons against it, not the least of which
is/may_be well-deserved developer pride, but as it stands for us at
the moment, two "third party" SA plugins,

   FuzzyOcr
   Botnet

are doing a disproportionate -- and effective! -- fraction of the
overall 'heavy-lifting' in our spam-defense.

just my $0.02 ...
