Just as a general point of advice to open source contributors, I'd suggest
erring on the side of the latter rather than the former suggestion here: dump
your current mess, along with the relevant caveats ("it's a mess, much of it is
irrelevant") so that other developers can help you clean it up, rather than
putting the entire burden of the cleanup on yourself. Experience has taught me
that most people who hold back work because it needs cleanup eventually run out
of steam and their work never gets integrated and maintained.
