Try the SVN version. It's far from bug-free, but slightly more useable.

I have done a rewrite of Visual mode to make it compatible with
Emacs regions; that is, you can make a visual selection and do
M-x indent-region on it, rather than having to write your own
indentation function which recognizes visual boundaries. While I use
it for my everyday work, it's still alpha, and needs testing before
committing to SVN. Would you help with testing it?

The viper-in-more-modes.el project, which I am now the maintainer of,
intends to collect all such bindings in one package. Feel free to send
me the bindings if you want them included.

Seems they didn't make it through to the mailing list. Maybe you could
make a ticket at our bug tracker and upload them there?
