yes ! :)

just btw:
please could you commit your code directly into the main 

unstable/gomd/gomd
+
unstable/libgomd

directories ?
Just overwrite those files there with your (much better) versions. 
If there should be the need to restore some older versions we can 
do this by cvs commands (cvs keeps the diffs). So there is no need
for a "current" dir (to my mind). 
In cvs it is quite hard to remove existing directories again (as i know).

sure, create what you need for the netcode.

exactly :)
We can have "hidden" functions/methods (low level netcode API's) as much as
we want/need. The later developer will only "see" + use the high-level API's
as you mentioned correctly.
