I have checked out nano-gui, and it looks promising.
The code is very compact and would probably build into a small enough
binary to link under ELKS. The server uses Unix sockets to communicate with
the clients, which use a very thin library to communicate with the server.
My feeling is that UNIX sockets could be implemented simply in the ELKS
kernel, but I am still struggling with trying to fix the nano-gui code so
that I can understand how it works.
