Very interesting, I'm glad you want to share your experience with us.

You can find implementation examples in C, C++ and F77 in 
utils/test_strext_socket*; I'm attaching a few examples of the usage of 
such tools (which I'll post also in the examples on the website as soon 
as I'm back to Milano).

Please keep us updated with your progress.

Sincerely, p.
