That project was last updated in 2002 and links to a related project last updated in 2010; and resolving "blocked" domains to 127.0.0.1 is anyway a bad idea, best IP address to use for that is 0.0.0.0.
For Linux users, a local dnsmasq instance (which BTW is by default on *buntu) is a MUCH better solution.

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
