I have been looking at the code for almost about 3 days. :(
It seems NOT that easy to understand, especially protocol 30, well
something binary, global variable,...bla...bla.... 

But I'm still wanna take a closer look at the code. So what I'm planning
is to just document what I have seen and think. I'll prepare a wiki page
and update when I have a further understanding of the code. 

It's almost 23:30 :), I'll create the page and provide the link
tomorrow. 

I hope that I can get more help on this. 

Any advice/suggestion/help is mostly appreciated. Thanks.
