+There was a message about one year ago from a user: "just compiled 
+pino.3.....I am not a fan. its barely functional. missing my old light 
+twitter client pino .2.11... ", and the author replied "What can I say? 
+It is on the early stage of developing."

+So I don't except a serious change in the code, maybe it would be better 
+to provide pino2 and patch against newer libs. The newest Ubuntu 
+provides it in the 2nd release.
