Thanks Nuno for the information.
That is the latest stable.

I managed to configure it to debian default, and then make and make
install on a test machine. I rather suspect that is it now too late for
checkinstall, although it does exist.
Now to release it to the server. Is this right?
Move /usr/local/smin/nginx to the same place, owner root:root, chmod 755.
From /etc/nginx move the files koi-win, koi-utf, win-utf, mine.types,
and fastcgi_params (checking the last for possible edits) to the same
place, all owned root:root, chmod 644.
How to check this before I do the copies and mess up the other 7 sites
on the server?
