How hard would it be to reimplement openocd, as a whole, as a library that
does everything except implement main(), load config files, and provide a
telnet server?

That way it could be wrapped to provide the current capability very easily
and a python extension module could be easily written to service it from
that side. I have embedded Python and written extension modules before,
so I could probably make a rudimentary implementation.

Is that something I ought to pursue?
