Well, you would have to re-implement two classes:
StandardOutgoingMessageQueue and StandardIncomingMessageQueue.  All
they do is translate from an interface to the underlying transport
mechanism, so they're pretty well insulated.

Unfortunately, since I wrote the code for myself and under time
constraints, as it stands right now you would have to branch the
source.  There is no mechanism for 'switching out' the transport
mechanism.  One reason I'm GPLing the code is so people who might have
more time on their hands (or different needs) can submit changes to
make this more reusable.

The short answer: it would take me less than a day to do so; I would
expect it to take a competent programmer who knows how to use both UDP
and TCP in Java about two or three days, given the above information
of which two classes to modify.
