Wow, that's some old code.

Only Simo would know if it was ever tested or ever worked.

I suppose since theoretically the client can be built separately 
theoretically it might do the right thing in some cases.

Seems like enough of a corner case to me that I'd remove it, given it is 
likely untested these last 9 years or so.

I'll give Simo the final say though.
