Does anyone have an interest in seeing 0MQ extended to support other types of 
IPC besides sockets? i.e Posix Queues for the local bus, and things like TIPC 
or DIPC for distributed programming?

Recently I've been working with the Enea LINX drivers(A distributed message 
queue system. Available under GPL as loadable kernel modules.) and have found 
them to be extremely efficient. Started working on an Ada binding. However 
since 0MQ already has the start of an Ada binding, perhaps 0MQ could be 
extended to include LINX support.

As I understand it, as long as the IPC mechanism uses file descriptors, it 
should work with 0MQ. So I'm thinking a whole bunch of IPC alternatives could 
be used underneath. DBUS, Spread Toolkit, LINX, TIPC, DIPC, etc...

I'm still learning the code base though, so I could be mistaken. Am I on target 
here?

The sheer proliferation of new IPC mechanisms seem to indicate that sockets are 
beginning to show thier age.
