Where's the the Lin32 API when you need it? (Ermm. good quote of the year)
Does firefox have some sort of API that allows users to remote control it from
another process? Does *NIX itself offer any standard inter-process communication
tactic or must each program contain a home brewed custom server damon (written
from scratch each time) to receive unix sockets or other API/remote
communication?
