What about an RPC/IPC API that communicates (bi-directionally) with the
parent application if one exists, and if not, it runs inside a wrapper app
that communicates the environment. That way, the API remains the same for
all situations, CORBA/COM/RPC and thread-thread/IPC. The issue would be
controlling the start-up penalties...I think...and possibly
addressing...need more info...brain melting....never mind.
