Forknote code won't work I don't think, calls different RPC commands
Also not too sure about this but I would suggest using walletd for services but simplewallet could work fine too I suppose

Why? RPC works just fine, including payouts. At least, it was easier to setup... so maybe there's no need to wait for Codex02/Eurobit-Pool, which is the same piece of code... nearly
Some of the RPC calls in the code give errors to walletd, such as getbalance, they need to be changed.
Regardless the code will be done by today and a pool will be open today, so you won't need to wait much longer for mining or to set up your own pool
