I haven't heard of any such effort.

Do you have a compelling reason to stay with 1.8.5? If you do, you may 
be able to use the Smartleaf 1.8.6 patch for p230 as a guide. It 
basically reverts one bad commit, so if you can just walk through the 
commits in the 1.8.5 SVN branch till you find a conceptually similar 
commit, you can try reverting it.
