Apparently, there's a month-old effort to revive it at
http://snowballstem.org/  It's probably too new to be depend on it yet,
but there are plenty of commits to the source repo.

However, the maintainer posted to alert that the license is actually
3-clause BSD: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.snowball/1558
which is OpenSSL-level licensing nightmare all over again ...
