No. If it's not free software, we won't distribute it. If it is, we
can.
If it is really quite Emacs-specific, it would go in ./lib-src. If
the UDP-to-TCP bridge seems more generally useful, create a project on
SourceForge, and we can put a version in ./lib-src is that seems
necessary. Either way, it will probably get ported (and quickly;
people can't seem to live without ICQ, whatever that is ;-).
The work to do it as an Emacs module would be appreciated, but that
can't change any system dependencies.
