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?
