Hi Max,

I'm certainly not interested in "throw it over the fence" coding. I'm
happy to work with you on "the acceptance and the possible prospect of
this thing getting packaged for distros," as you wrote, but only if
you're actually committed to maintaining it. It sounds to me like this
is something in your mind that is "over with"? That's disapointing.

As I wrote earlier, this is going to require a lot of work to actually
bring to fruition. The first priority should be entirely dispensing
with the use of wg-quick. In order to aid these efforts, I spent some
time writing a mini single-file-c library that you can drop into your
project as a means for talking to the kernel and configuring devices
directly:

https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/tree/contrib/examples/embeddable-wg-library/README

Should be pretty straight-forward to integrate. You'll basically only
need to use the "wg_set_device" function, and perhaps the
"wg_key_from_base64" function too.
