if it makes it more difficult for you to patch against libgnetwork,
we'll wait for you to finish that work and then move it to libgnetwork.

Or if you want, you can commit what you've got, move the stuff to
libgnetwork, and continue working there.

Do as you prefer.

may have misunderstood though, but if that's the case, I guess a
system-wide daemon could work, couldn't it? It could have an easy way
for user apps to announce the services they provide.

What are your preferences?
