It should be doable without much trouble, but will certainly require
tweaks here and there to adapt paths and whatnot, and will need a good
build environment in place.

Note that it may also be possible to cross-compile with certain ease.

There should be no issue in that regard. Juju doesn't auto-update the
client in any way, and it also doesn't auto-update the server either.
You have to run "juju upgrade-juju" to update the versions being run
on the server side.

We're much better at documenting APIs in general, so in that regard
you should have some help.

This is the interface you want to implement, for example:

    http://go.pkgdoc.org/launchpad.net/juju-core/environs#Environ

Then, have a look at the EC2 implementation if you need inspiration.

Thanks on behalf of the team. We also appreciate your continued help
on several fronts. Our work wouldn't be very interesting without the
kind of work you push.
