Uhm, well. Karl is one of the upstream coders and his branch is located on 
svn.xiph.org, so it's not exactly some random hack's branch.

As far as I can see, his branch is just used to test new code which will 
then make it into the main branch.

Thus the codebase is _very_ similar to icecast-trunk.

transform-name? Never heard of that.

What would you suggest? Naming the package icecast-kh? And conflicting it 
with icecast while providing a virtual icecast package at the same time?
