I lurk on the ct user mailing list (subscription info at
http://www.contesting.com ). Most of the changes made the past year or
two are bug fixes, additional radio control for newer models and updates
for rule changes.

Anything to ease the transition will provide a boost.
I'm not sure how CX has opted to handle DXCC entities for DX contests.
Working with the phphamlog project I developed a file that is keyed on a
unique number for each entity from the ADIF spec. Then I added
pertinent info from the ARRL DXCC list. You may retrieve it from:
http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/countrydata.txt
Enough documentation (hopefully) exists in the beginning of the file to
explain its layout.
Second, since any serious contest logging program must incorporate rig
control, may I suggest the hamlib project at:
http://hamlib.sourceforge.net
This project's goal is to build a library that presents a consistent API
yet uses a number of backend libraries to talk to various ham shack
hardware.
Perhaps some of the above will be useful to your project.
