I managed to do some fixes in the ancient source code and managed to compile it on Ubuntu 16.04:
- new graphic elements
- changed website URL to the now-working one
- backport of bugfix for support for libboost 5.8 from Bitcoin core
- compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2g
- new hardcoded list of seed nodes so now the node should not require manually entering them via addnode= to config
