I'll be looking for that day wherein those Cisco guys can boost no more that they are the only ones in the planet that has the MPLS skills. Whew, maybe somebody knows where to start on how to add this MPLS feature so as to answer the question like "where do I begin?"
You're top-posting. For the MPLS, you have basically two parts - data plane, which is encapsulation of the frames or cells, and the control plane, which is exchanging VPNv4/VPNv6 information between multiprotocol speaking BGP routers (usually - PEs/LERs in MPLS nomenclature). Quick look at google shows a lot of places where existing MPLS code can be found[1]. But as usual - maybe it's not the best of breed, or even not complete. The MPLS as itself is not Cisco domain, but it was invented by Cisco as "tag switching"[2] back in the days where nobody believed it will be needed. It was back in 1997. So, as Claudio said - go for it, if You think you can do better.
