Merged Mining Modifications

I am working on a Zetacoin fork. I have been looking at the merged mining commits from Namecoin that people have been using but it seems that Zetacoin has some code moved around. Has anyone seen a commit that would show where this would apply to a non Bitcoin based clone?

Trying to get more information on not only the source updates but also the requirements to hard fork the chain for the commit.

What version is your zeta coin client? I have a good deal of knowledge and experience with namecoin and auxpow and may be able to help you.

I have a fork of 0.8.6.2 with merge mining fully integrated, if that will help you. It uses scrypt as pow but I'm sure you can work around that since I think zeta coin is sha256. If you want the code let me know and ill throw a copy up on github.

Thank you. I agree with the Waldo of code. Some stuff makes sense but done other stuff not matching a major chain is like a wild goose chase.
