Currently there is 3 components to MRC, an MPL UI, a Python multiplexer and a
central server. The first 2 are on the BBS side, so in theory this could be
ported to any platform.

As for the independent portion, I prefer it's tied to a BBS to maintain it's
difference with other platforms (like IRC), if you want a distinct client, IRC
will be the best answer to that.

However, I'm thinking about something interesting... more to come.

Cheers!
