I began updating chromium some months ago, and in the process was going to do exactly that, since the game changed its name to chromium-bsu. The new version would not run on any version of Mac OS X I tested, however, so I did not commit it. However, the current version doesn't really run either, so I guess I may as well commit my several changes and leave it for others to improve further later.
