Hey Chow,

sounds good, thanks for the contribution.

You're right, without the client the whole system is useless. The
complete source code is available in an SVN repository:
https://remuco.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/remuco/tags/0.8.0/ . The
client binaries are built using ant - some instructions can be found
at the top of the file client/build.xml.

Concerning the packaging guide lines, is a release specific SVN URL
sufficient or do you require an explicit source package?
