Hello Dan, Before he went on a short holiday, Bram committed the first working version of the new agent. It is still too big, but with this setup we have a good starting point to start minimizing it.
One area that immediately comes to mind is the dependency on commons-codec of which we use only a tiny bit. If someone could hunt down those few bits where we use it and perhaps replace that whole library with just a class or two, that would be a good starting point. There are definitely some more things that can be stripped like this, but this one is probably the easiest.
