Can you please elaborate on what multiplayer functionality you want to provide 
in your game?

After having talked with Sacha at GCDS it seems to me that in the future the 
Gluon input controller framework will provide a new abstraction of human 
players with their input devices, network players and bots. The multiplayer 
functionality itself can easily covered by kggz. If that's not enough for you, 
please let us know :)
