You know, I like this idea. I think it's a really productive disucssion
when people come up with better solutions than the original posters. I
knew about CORBA, but I didn't put two and two together to come up with
the idea as a solution.
CORBA is very standard on many platforms, and it would be even better for
these purposes than guile. As long as enough functonality is exported to
make the program extensible, this would rock!
Count my vote for CORBA :)
Thanks,
