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.
