Google recently released their experimental transport protocol called QUIC as a namespace net.quic in Chrome. I'd love to use it, as it looks perfect for my use case, however I can't seem to find any guide on using it as a standalone library.

Is there any available way to get QUIC as a standalone library aside from the Chrome source?
