I've been examining the MobileFrontend code myself since I too wanted to  
use it on a wiki. The MobileFrontend code is written 'very' WMF centric  
and uses a large number of hacks (which imho aren't acceptable of an  
extension purporting to be usable outside of WMF). It's a long way away  
 from being usable on a normal wiki.
