If it's any sizeable amount of work, true - although I'm investigating using 
an existing LGPL network library to implement a provider.

If it turns out to be a relatively simple task, then we can provide it, 
partially as an early solution, but the big benefit I see is that we can use 
it to test the infrastructure and make sure the rest works while we implement 
the DirectPlay provider.
