For those feeling adventurous, I have a very experimental, and minimal implementation of Xindice that operates solely on XML-RPC for its wire protocol. The entire CORBA system has been completely gutted, and replaced by Labrador to provide method invocation. This experiment also scales back the Juggernaut framework to test the viability of a port to Avalon.

Overall, the number of source files at compile time has gone down from about 300+ (Written and generated) to 200, and the size of the Tarball is now only 2.3 megs (about half of the original size).

It's not fully tested, and not feature complete, but it functions enough that you can get an idea of how such a beast might work in the future. You can find it at:
