The 9vx-tap script is quite naive. I decided to leave it that way
because its purpose is more to serve as documentation than as
something you will actually use. It is the simplest script I could
come up with, but can be improved in many ways.

I'm not sure why you would want to do that, but I'm with ron: if you
are interested, go ahead.

Why? The network devices are actually quite simple, and I guess you
could move the core to libvx32, but I don't know what you gain with
that. As I see it, I like the current situation where vx32 is a
sandboxing library and 9vx takes care of providing the virtual
devices.
