Dear Eric,

Thanks - aha.

What kind of difficulty is it probably to implement litecoin support?
(As in a --protocol=litecoin compiletime option.)

I guess the differences between the Bitcoin and Litecoin protocols are
extremely small, though I haven't diff:ed bitcoind's and litecoind's
sources so am no authority; I got the impression it more or less amounts
to the hashing algorithm, average block generation time, and max coins,
that would sound like 100 to 500 lines?
