Reiska isn't really built on top of libfreenet.  I stol^Wborrowed some
of the code and adapted it to the glib-1.2 type and memory allocation
system, so you can see traces of the libfreenet code here and there.

I don't think that in a system like freenet where node behaviour is
pretty much a part of the protocol itself, that you could just rip out
the protocol, put it in a library and then update the library without
updating the node.

I'll certainly implement a client protocol for the higher-level stuff than
just "insert this key. and this key. fetch that one.".  (perhaps a
libfcp type library would be appropriate for this? anyway, it's far too
early for Reiska to be thinking about these things...)
