Goals for the client, in no particular order:

- Improve portability across compilers and platforms.

- Remove dependencies on specific versions of required libraries.

- Refactor access to required libraries to allow alternative choices.

- Refactor subsystems to allow alternative choices (see below).

- Decouple the viewing from the presence handling, allow N:1 (multiple views per presence).

- Replace refactored 2D GUI by decoupled alternative [footprint reduction].

- Replace refactored 3D navigation/camera by local event drive [footprint reduction].

- Replace refactored audio system by decoupled alternative [footprint reduction].

Enough to keep me busy for a while ...

PS. Among the many other benefits, physical refactoring gives us the opportunity to harness multiple cores.
