I do intend to release the code at some point later, hopefully this year.  
but it's a part of a larger collection C++ classes and uses a common  
foundation, so it'll work better as a standalone library. Also, some classes  
are Linux-centric, such as the API for the Linux kernel's event file  
descriptors; also timer and signal file descriptors. It's not something  
that's amenable to getting carved out; the gnutls classes are not at the  
bottom of the class hierarchy, but inherit some shared stuff.

It's nice and fun writing library code, but writing a usable application or  
a tool is really the only way to prove that a library is actually practical.  
So, I need to write something useful, first…
