ChaSen is actively maintained, the latest chasen-2.4.4  was on
2008-07-23 13:17.

The official replacement.new version is MeCab, and ChaSen's
predecessor Juman is also actively maintained.

I found very little difference between in tag accuracy between ChaSen
and Mecab when I tested them both last year.  Mecab is faster though.
