Well the current package is there:

Licence, i don't know. PECL says to link it to PHP licence 3.0.
There's not much code to review, as this is a really simple hack.
People needs to modify php code when behind reverse proxy, which tends to be a
problem when you have multiple customers on the same server.
The only case I would point is when this would be running on a web server
without proxy, and the remote peers fakes an X-Forwarded header with a string
finishing with a period, the ip would copy one byte of data (the
variable .len) into ip address.
Anyway, the erroneous ip results of a misconfiguration and so results existing
security hole.
