Actually, Eidos has been very forth-coming and, dare I say it, enthusiastic about the development of the chocobo patch. Probably because they're pretty tired from all the mails from angry gamers, too
And just for reference, the direct link to the latest chocobo patch: http://www.qhimm.com/ff7_chocobo_patch.zip
If nothing else, this shows that all hope is not lost just because the official sources can't help you. Only downside is that people who still can't get it to work started mailing me instead of Eidos about it... =(
