The reason Rob initiated this thread was based on a discussion Rob and I had some
days ago about how to further kill off the remaining bottleneck in a Scope-like
client/server filter process, which is spawning the client. Having a ~5kb client
binary in the middle might not be big deal performancewise if run once every 5 min,
but on a heavily loaded XMail server loading it every other second 24-7 makes it a
bottleneck in the long run, thus the idea came up it would be nice to make the rather
trivial client code part the XMail codebase somehow. 

I think such an addition falls beyond your famous <5 line directive
(don't recall the exact phrase you use ;), so we discussed to co-op on
making an experimental patch to the codebase implementing an inline socket feature.
I figure this is the route to go for now. If it turns out and and turns out well,
we might even be able to get you to reconsider.
