Where does one get a copy of the trunk source? Is it in a git repository 
somewhere?

I tried downloading NDT 3.6.5.2 (the newest i could find) from here:
http://ndb1.internet2.edu/~kkumar/NDT_TAR/ndt-3.6.5.2.tar.gz
But, the patch will need a lot of work before it can apply cleanly 
against that source--almost every hunk failed.
