It's based on SMAPI 2.3.  Some of the headers files have been rearranged,
but the code is basically the same.  See the ChangeLog.

Which is contrary to your next sentence...

1. I don't want to place everything under the one tree.

2. I don't want it forced on me that the directory where SMAPI is located
is named "smapi".

The next version of XMSGAPI 1.7 will be licenced under the LGPL thanks to Tobias.

Alternatively, you might want to look at the many changes I made to SMAPI
(to produce XMSGAPI) to make it more portable, and integrate those changes
into SMAPI.
