Comment (by writefaruq):

 The final GSoC code is here

 http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2010-tahoe-
 lafs/downloads/detail?name=MOFaruque_Sarker.tar.gz&can=2&q=#makechanges

 Some hints to use it

 - Get a fresh copy of tahoe-lafs
 - Apply the above patch(es)
 - Check configuration.txt  to  find steps to configure

 A seond file "BASEDIR/introducers" configures introducers. It is necessary
 to
 write all FURL entries into this file. Each line in this file contains
 exactly
 one FURL entry. For backward compatibility reasons, any "introducer.furl"
 entry found in tahoe.cfg file will automatically be copied into this file.
 Keeping
 any FURL entry in tahoe.cfg file is not recommended for new users.

 - Edit BASEDIR/introducers and add FURLs for each introducer. Of course
 you need to run them before you get a FURL.

 - Play with them as you like.
