Forgive me if I am I'm getting involved here where I shouldn't, or if I don't understand all the circumstances of the project ...

FWIW, I suggest freezing the Xastir code and tagging it onto a branch of it's own. All bug fixes are made to the branch and merged into the trunk as needed. Leave the massive coding changes on the trunk.

In my experience it is easier to merge multiple small changes (bug fixes) from a branch to a trunk than it is to merge massive developmental changes from a branch onto a trunk.

BTW, I like the idea of using TCP sockets.
