I'm answering my own question, how embarrassing. ;)

Meanwhile I've found the file csprotocol.txt in the source distribution
which basically covers what I need. But it does not look complete. It
only covers the beginning of the communication. Any pointers to a
documentation of the rest of the protocol?

Anyway, sorry for the noise,

Christoph
