Max, I don't think you quite understand what is involved in integrating a mod. This may have been the whole reason you got so worked up about the vB3 issue.
When an application is integrated into Xoops, much of the core code of the initial application has to be altered. This is to change the way that functions are called, to fit in with Xoops' templating system, database handling, integration to the XOOPS user list etc etc etc. IT WILL ALWAYS BE A PORT. You can't simply create a "module" that acts as a bridge between the two applications as you seem to think - the original application MUST be altered and MUST be distributed with modifcations (normally quite substantial) in order for the integration to work.
