Our agreement with freeradius guys has been that the client will remain 
a generic one, not specific to any particular Radius server. Due to 
different licenses (BSD vs. GPL), it's likely that it will be 
distributed as a separate package and there will be little or no code 
sharing between the server and the client packages.
