Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds a lot like the idea used to
make the GINA group's CLM Motif interface independent of FFIs, although
I don't doubt the mechanics are somewhat different.  The documentation
said something about the possibility of using the same mechanism for
different toolkits as well.

Maybe the CLM code would be worth a look, or at least the
communications methods and protocals? I know swank is becoming a
"standard" but if it is we should try and make it as robust and general
as possible, and perhaps CLM would have some useful concepts to add in.

Cheers,
CY
