As the past maintainer, two comments for those who might be considering
this:
1. Z39.50 is a protocol to access library (the kind with books)
   catalogues and similar data. I can provide you details w/ many
   servers if you want them for testing.
2. There's potentially a need to have it slotted, as the API has changed
   slightly and some old (not-in-tree) binary apps use the older API.
   The Library world moves slowly when it comes to some tech.
