As far as I remember, there was no api daemon back then. Instead, ooRexx
used shared memory to enable communication between different instanced
belonging to the same user. This is definitely not the way we want things
to work these days as it is hard to maintain and prone to bugs. The current
design is much cleaner and more resilient so we definitely shouldn't go
back to the 3.2 design.
