Guilty as charged. I made the changes, and added support for real-time scheduling (contributed), but never released it as I didn't have an up to date libc at the time to use sched_setscheduler (it turned out I had mispelt it when manually applying the patch).
I've updated it for glibc, and made it available on my web space:
http://www.alfie.demon.co.uk/download/swapd-1.4.tar.gz
As it says in the notes, I don't use it -- it is a proof of concept. I didn't know anybody else did use it.
I've made the GPL licence explicit -- anybody want to maintain it?
PS: This means that there is one less application that required the 1.2 style format of /proc/meminfo :-)
