The nudges are appreciated :-)

The Ultimate Goal is to be able to unhook the node code from the simulation 
and connect it to a real network - so I'm finding myself spending a lot of
time thinking about how to avoid dead ends where the node code is too tightly
coupled to the simulation code.

I think I've got enough clues now that I can finally actually try writing
some code. Amazing! Actually writing code instead of daydreaming, thought
it would never happen :-)
