Well it's passing all my tests without any local changes so I'd say it's
good to import.  I'm going to build it and deploy it a little wider
tomorrow but there should be no harm in importing even if a new release
is made available in a day or two (other than the extra effort, of
course, though having the full history in the repo isn't a bad thing).

The pkgsrc/net/bind8 module should be updated ASAP too I think.  It
shouldn't need any other changes (other updating than the version ID) as
far I can see.  Perhaps something like this (I'm not 100% sure my
makefile is up to date, but the changes are of course rather obvious):
