Ask gentoo, as they'd be the ones who removed it from their distro - the
patch provided in that bug report came from X.Org upstream:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-fpit/commit/?id=7d203627e7e3e7a6f8d0e847ed650b0b89760c09

It does look like no one has pushed out a tarball release since Peter made
that fix - it certainly could use someone stepping up as maintainer if they
actually cared about it and had access to the hardware.
