I don't understand you two... 

Hermann, why don't use the client parts of NSM as they are if you want
to support it... 

J, why don't you package only the code needed to create an NSM client
separately if it's important to him... Giving out a tarball with only
the client code, an example client, and (a link to) the documentation
won't hurt adoption...
