There is another solution:

- Do 2) for one very common platform and release this as a 'lab'
  release.  This should be enough for us to get money from Tekes.
- As soon we know that #1 is a working solution and we have got people
  interested in testing the #1 solution, we can then go trough route #1.

The benefits are that we spend less hours developing against a
probably not stable protocol.

Monty
