If anyone wants to test the write functionality without having to struggle
building the code themselves, I have uploaded updated packages to my
Ubuntu personal package archive (PPA) [1]. All distributions from Jaunty
throughout Natty are supported.

I might be building binaries for MacOS as well if people are interested.
However, since we will be soon able to integrate the functionality into
QHiMDTransfer and the code, as Michael pointed out, is still highly
experimental, it might be wiser for most people to wait.
