Please read the ChangeLog of nxssh and nxcomp. You should find
there a detailed explaination of how things are implemented.

I agree that nxcomp is a little more complex than I liked it
to be ;-). The problem is that it has to work as a transport
layer of the agents and as a self-contained program, nxproxy.
The nxproxy component (just a wrapper of nxcomp) will probably
disappear, at some time, and the nxcomp library will be stream-
lined to be used within nxssh (or a corresponding nxhttp) on
the client.
