I don't think there is one yet. You're welcome to do it. I think
Java would work quite well for this sort of thing. There is some
example code in other languages (e.g. pysync) that may guide you.
The current protocol, however, is quite tightly tied to the C
implementation. There is a partial description of it in the CVS head,
in csprotocol.txt. If you have any thoughts about the 3.0 protocol
while you're doing this, please post them.

If you don't find one, perhaps register a SourceForge project. You
can always move some functions later.
