How standard are they? The nice thing about SYSV IPC is that it is
supported on just about every unix system in the world. I've heard of
RPCs in general, but are you referring to a specific library? Where
would it be available from? If it isn't POSIX or reasonably common
then a lot of the use is lost since it would increase the minimum
level of ability necessary to install; I'd like to keep it as simple
as possible.
