Ah yes, my hubris to think I know what I'm doing :) I started / tried it 
again, just separating the different functionalities of one of these mixed up 
parts of the TCP/IP link, but it bogged down almost immediately in a serious 
amount of code-cleaning, cruft-removal etc. Nothing that produces an 
understandable patch. So I'll leave it until 2.1 and just write little code 
cleanups till then.
