I decided not to leave this hanging entirely until the new year and so
made an initial stab at carving proton-j out on its own and then
removing Messenger. It still needs more cleanup before I land it in
the new year but it is well on the way, current state is viewable at
https://github.com/gemmellr/qpid-proton-j/tree/independent-proton-j
for anyone wanting to check it out before that. I haven't looked at
the reverse case of removing proton-j from the original repo, I will
leave that until after the holidays are over.
