Thanks for the pointers.  I also want to create a generic library for  
command facades like git.  For that I will probably use git.c as a  
guide but to make it generic I would need to add/rearrange code.   
GPLv2 works fine for my purposes.  I hope this isn't an offensive  
question or anything but would releasing just the library under LGPL  
be considered?
