civicrm_contact_ref installer breaks on fresh D7 install

I get the following error on a fresh D7/CiviCRM install when installing civicrm_contact_ref:

The following extensions will be enabled: civicrm_contact_ref
Do you really want to continue? (y/n): y
WD php: PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table [error]

SET
module=:db_update_placeholder_0, type=:db_update_placeholder_1
WHERE (module = :db_condition_placeholder_0) ; Array
(
[:db_update_placeholder_0] => civicrm_contact_ref
[:db_update_placeholder_1] => civicrm_contact_ref_contact
[:db_condition_placeholder_0] => civicrm_cck
)
in civicrm_contact_ref_install() (line 34 of
/var/aegir/platforms/master-ourpowerbase-d7-c4.4/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/modules/civicrm_contact_ref/civicrm_contact_ref.install).

It seems as though a civicrm_contact_ref_install() function was added with:

db_update('content_node_field')
->fields(array(
'module' => 'civicrm_contact_ref',
'type' => 'civicrm_contact_ref_contact',
))
->condition('module', 'civicrm_cck')
->execute();

I'm not following Drupal development very closely these days, but some researching (http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/36678/how-to-determine-where-the-cck-fields-are-stored-in-database) suggests that the content_node_field table which was present via the D6 cck module has been replaced with the field_config table. I also see references to content_node_field_instance which apparently have been switched to field_config_instance.

The field_config table has both a module and type field - so it seems like we can fix the code to perform the same action. However, the field_config_instance table doesn't have a widget_module or widget_type field so I'm not sure the best way to fix that piece.
