Great!

The code has been around for many years (at least 8, maybe 10, I can't really
remember) and was based on the 18.44 and 18.52 versions of FSF's server.el
with many fixes, cleanups and extensions.

You have _my_ vote to completely re-write gnuserv as so much has changed in
the intervening years.  Functions that I originally overwrote now have hooks
to allow things like gnuserv to work correctly.  There may be other gotcha's
too, along the lines of functions like kill-buffer now returning useful
values, which they didn't before.
