Start a node programatically from from another Go application.

Hello, do you think it's feasible to start a btcd server from another Go program by importing the necessary dependencies for starting the server? Or is there too much unexported functionality in order to achieve this?

I'm not extremely familiar with the code base, so not sure if there are many un-exported things you'd need for that.
But I think it should be pretty easy to figure out. Just copy the code of btcdMain() (https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd/blob/master/btcd.go#L44C9-L44C9) into your project and see what's missing (probably the whole config parsing functionality, but you'd likely want to supply a fully populated config from your code anyway and not inject a file based config).
