If you start building an airplane with a 747, you are not going to understand it as well as if you start simple and move forward from that. It will serve as an excellent reference for how to introduce techniques, and also to benchmark your new ideas against. For example, when you want to add a hash, look at what Michel did. Then you will notice, "I forgot to hash the e.p. -- no wonder it's broken." If you just take his work and try to take off with it, I don't think you will find the great success that you hope for. The nice thing about what he is doing is we will have a "before" and "after" image to play with. With Crafty, there is no example from the earliest work. Also, since crafty already came from advanced mainframe code, it never really had a simple beginning. So people who want to make the transition from a writer of toy programs to a writer of bone crushing monster programs have a somewhat difficult transition.
