Thanks. :)

A C++ library sounds good (having a first implementation in Python and a
later C++ one is a great idea). I'll think about the library idea again,
probably I could also use this in own further software projects.

A small status update: To give a first overview of the now implemented
message flow, I added two sequence diagrams for an arriving peer [1] and
for a peer retrying incorporation [2] (mostly the same) to the repo (a
second opposing arrow means an acknowledge message). Just as a quick
overview; more documentation will follow tomorrow.

Thanks,
Max
