+Would be fine for me, depends on the community, and it is one of those =
+chunks that make many stall...
+
+The reason for building on bitcoin/bitcoin directly is that this created =
+a history of all changes, and this way I had a working version running =
+each day while doing the refactoring - with my wallet at stake!
+
+However, I think perhaps the bitcoin project should be split into a =
+library, with a prototype client and the actual clients. This library =
+facilitates this.
+
+Cheers,
