Yeah Paul, I know that repo, actually I forgot to mention I'd like to use a
stable/complete GPL version.
I was using GPL freenx, but after reading this discussion I had a bad

Well, that is my personal view. My boss always make me write classes when
there is a duplicated code. I think is a nightmare because sometimes it
becomes difficult to mantain, if the code is used with a very different
purpose.
