Thanks, your welcome, and no problem. I'm glad I could convey some
useful information. :)

Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking. We can come up with a
'logical' way to represent the interface, store that as a sort of
'compiled IDL', and then use some tool at runtime to compile the
actual RPC code. That way the user can plug in Flick, or some ILU
style shared memory thing, or his own custom RPC stubber.. The RPC
generator can be chosen based on the type of the communication.
