Well, feel free to send code, and we'll probably be able to use it.  :) 
For now, it just accepts connections from anywhere, anybody.  I'd love
to see it be more secure.

This is already half-done, and it'll configure quite a bit of stuff. 
:)  For now, though, we've been putting more and more options in the
Makefile.  That reminds me:

V0.3.4 should be out today -- my motherboard finally arrived, so I
should be able to access the files I was missing.  I'll post in a few
hours if it works..  :)  The new version will let you specify which
drivers to include (now supports hd44780), in the Makefile, and has
improved curses output.  The disk screen has more accurate/less buggy
information now, and the memory screen is more responsive.  The
backlight behavior is more configurable, and there are also other
miscellaneous changes.
