How far away is our API from BONE? Not only since BONE is now official 
with the release of Zeta, I think it would also be nice for the actual 
users not to have to separate between three different networking 
solutions on the application level.

So if achieving BONE compatibility is just a matter of some minor 
constant and structure changes, I would try to go for it (not as 
another compatibility layer, but as the native interface to our kit). I 
wouldn't mind libsocket.so and libbind.so to be just dummies to our 
libnet.so, though.
